___________________________________________________________________

The defeat against Arsenal Tula is still in the mind of all Lokomotiv fans and the game vs Mordoviya arrives in a difficult moment for 'Railroaders'. 'Gunners' showed each weakness of Bozovic's team, which now is waited for a reaction. 

The match in Saransk will be very though for a lot of reasons. First of all the coach: Syomin has written the history of Lokomotiv and it'll be interesting to face again him. In this season, Yurij is doing a great job, not surprisingly he beat Zenit and Krasnodar at Start Stadium. Mordoviya is a solid team that concedes only a few chances to the opponent. Igor' Shitov and Pavel Yakovlev are disqualified, so they will play in the reserves matches as Evgenij Gapon, Lorenzo Ebecilio and Mitchell Donald (all injured). 

On the other hand, Bozovic must renounce to Abaev, Pejcinovic and Tigorev plus Niasse, who had to be operated for a fracture of the metacarpal. Mykhalyk should return in the starting line-up to ensure a bit more balance. The rest of the players that took part to the game against Arsenal, instead, should be confirmed. Sheshukov said: "We want  to be rehabilitated by fans", while Maicon underlined that "Lokomotiv will fly to Saransk to demonstrate his best".
