On Monday, the Lithuanian national team and St. Petersburg forward were examined by doctors, who determined that the injury he suffered in Sunday's match against Moscow's "Dynamo" is less severe than initially thought.
Doctors were concerned that the player may have a meniscus injury, but no signs of such injury were found. In two days, the Lithuanian will meet with specialists who will determine the severity of the injury and the period of time the forward will be unable to play.
Preliminary prognosis by doctors: bruising of the right knee joint.
We remind you that the first qualifying matches for the 2008 European Championship in Austria and Switzerland were played by the Lithuanian national team on September 2 against the World Champion Italy as an away game.
