RUSSIA coach Guus Hiddink has added Lokomotiv Moscow striker Dmitri Sychev to his squad ahead of their upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Germany and Finland, according to a report in Sport Express.
The 24-year old striker is set to replace Tottenham frontman Roman Pavlyuchenko, who limped off in the club's 1-0 home defeat to Hull on Sunday.
With the extent of Pavlyuchenko's injury not yet known, Sychev has been called up only as a precaution at this stage.
