Our team will face Avtodor in less than two days after previous game.
Short time between the games made the coaching staff to move off the plan to practice a day before the game. The team was given more time to rest after the game vs Maccabi. Video session and shooting practice was moved to the later time.
The teams met just once in the previous season – in November at Moscow. The game at Saratov wasn’t played due to the stoppage of the season.
The Army Men will have the same roster as in the previous game. Semen Antonov, Nikola Milutinov and Janis Strenieks remain isolated due to the COVID-19.

Word to the coach
Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach:
We play back-to-back games being shorthanded, so the first thing we are thinking about is to rest. Avtodor has a new coach and new system, and we respect them a lot.
