Spartak Moscow defender Vladislav Saus has offered a reassuring update on his physical condition following his return to action in a high-stakes cup final. The player addressed questions about his health after helping his team secure a trophy.
The match in question was the final of the Path of Regions Fonbet Russian Cup, where Spartak faced city rivals CSKA. The game took place at the Lukoil Arena in Moscow, with Kirill Levnikov from Saint Petersburg serving as the main referee.
Saus, who joined Spartak from Baltika during the winter transfer window, had been dealing with an injury that kept him sidelined. His absence was felt in the domestic league, as he was forced to miss three of the club's matches in the Mir Russian Premier League.
Despite the setback, the defender was included in the squad for the cup final. He made his comeback by coming off the bench in the 88th minute of the match against CSKA, which Spartak won 1-0.
When asked about his condition after the game, Saus provided a straightforward and positive response. "Health is better. As you can see, I played," he stated, indicating his readiness to contribute to the team's efforts moving forward.
The player's return is a welcome boost for Spartak as they navigate the latter stages of the season. His ability to feature in a crucial final suggests he has overcome the injury that previously limited his availability.
