Kokorin (left) and Mamaev (right) played together for Russia at Euro 2016Two Russia internationals could face jail after being charged with hooliganism by Moscow police. Zenit St Petersburg's Aleksandr Kokorin and Krasnodar's Pavel Mamaev are said to have assaulted trade ministry official Denis Pak on Monday, leaving him needing medical treatment. "On my own behalf and my son's behalf, I want to apologise for what happened to Denis Pak," he wrote. Such hot-headed behaviour was unacceptable, his reaction to the insults from Denis Pak was excessively crude, and Sasha acknowledges that fully." Kokorin has 48 caps for Russia, but missed this year's home World Cup through injury, while Mamaev has 15, with his last international appearance coming in 2016.
