Forward of Ak Bars, **[Dmitry Yashkin](https://www.championat.com/tags/25698-dmitrij-jashkin/)** has announced that he has recovered from his injuries and is ready to return to the ice. The forward has missed the last three matches of the Kazan team.

“Of course, I was keeping an eye on the trade deadline; it’s always an exciting day. I watched for a while and then took a nap. I believe every hockey player is interested in it to some extent.

As for my health? I think I’ve been in good shape for quite a while now. When I get back on the ice and play – well, that’s not entirely up to me; I personally look forward to it every day. Everyone wants to play. But for now, it’s essential to accept the situation as it is. They can vary. It has happened, and it’s in the past. The most thrilling part is coming up – the playoffs are just around the corner,” Yashkin’s words are reported by RUSTAM IMAMOV, a correspondent for Championship.
