Russia beat Egypt 3-1 in their Group A encounter on Wednesday morning (AEST).

This means after their second group-stage match, Russia have six points and have an excellent chance of reaching the knockout stage, where they could face Portugal, Spain, Iran or Morocco.

Russia will play Uruguay in their final group-stage match at the Samara Arena on Monday.

"Uruguay are a completely different proposition, their level is completely different," Cherchesov said.

"They play in a different style. We need to sort out our squad and our tactics in order to get a result," 

He added that veteran defender Sergei Ignashevich has been an important addition to the team following his late call-up to the squad.

"You see how useful Ignashevich is for the team.. Everything should be done at the right time," he said.

The 2018 FIFA World Cup kicked off on June 14 and will continue until July 15, with the matches being played in 11 cities across Russia.
