Expelled Russian captain recalled

Russia’s international team coach, Guus Hiddink, has recalled Sergey Ignashevich to the squad to face Macedonia and England in the Euro 2008 qualifiers in September.

The CSKA man was expelled from the squad before the friendly match against Poland in Moscow after arriving late for training.

There were fears that the centre half's international career could be over, but he'll get the chance to make amends on the pitch next month.
 
Also recalled was Alexander Kerzhakov who missed the 2-2 draw against Poland. As expected, Hiddink has included him after the striker scored for Sevilla  in their 4-1 win over Getafe on Saturday.
