Russia confirm scan for Dzagoev's hamstring injury
Russia confirmed on Thursday that star Alan Dzagoev requires a scan on a hamstring injury which could rule him out of the rest of the World Cup.
Playmaker Dzagoev went down midway through the first half of Russia's tournament opener against Saudi Arabia on Thursday.
"Alan Dzagoev damaged the muscles in the back of the thigh," the hosts said in a brief statement.
"The terms of treatment will be determined by the results of the upcoming MRI [scan]."
Despite Dzagoev's injury, Russia would go on to secure a 5-0 victory over Saudi Arabia in the tournament opener.
