Dzagoev sustained a hamstring injury during Russia's 5-0 drubbing of Saudi Arabia in the FIFA World Cup opening match in Moscow on Thursday.

On Sunday, the 28-year-old CSKA Moscow player said that he was unlikely to recover in time for Russia's remaining two Group A matches against Egypt and Uruguay, but hoped to return for the knockout stage, should the hosts make it.

Russia are currently top of Group A, ahead of Uruguay on goal difference.
