Zenit head coach Sergey Semak has suggested that Russian winger Andrey Kasadzhikov could be recalled from his loan at Orenburg this winter. According to Zenit's official website, Semak explained that the winger was loaned out to gain more playing time at a Russian Premier League club due to the number of players in his position at Zenit. The coach also revealed that Kasadzhikov, whose rights belong to Zenit, extended his contract before the move as the club has plans for him. Semak stated that the quality of the 18-year-old's performance will determine when he returns, which could be this winter or in a year. Kasadzhikov, who joined Orenburg in July 2026, has 7 caps and 1 goal for Russia's U19 team. His current Transfermarkt market value is €400k.
