Armenian international footballer will not play in Russian club’s next match

Armenian national football team and Russian Premier League FC Volga Nizhny Novgorod forward Arthur Sarkisov will not enter the pitch during his club’s Russian League ninth-round game against CSKA Moscow.   

The game will be played at Nizhny Novgorod’s Lokomotiv Station, and the official kick-off is at 1:30pm. 

To note, Arthur Sarkisov, who is on loan from Lokomotiv Moscow, started his career at FC Reutov, before moving to Lokomotiv-2 Moscow, where he managed to top Lokomotiv-2 scoring charts for two consecutive seasons and thus becoming a key player in the process. His performances at Loko-2 Moscow did not go unnoticed and, on December 9, 2010, Lokomotiv Moscow, Loko-2’s parent club, officially announced his signing. He was loaned out to FC Shinnik Yaroslavl for the 2011/12 season.

Sarkisov made his debut in the Armenian national football team in a friendly match with Lithuania on August 10, 2011.
