On 20 January Zenit players continued their work in Qatar and had one of their last training sessions at Aspire Base.

The session lasted for about two hours – after the gym the team moved to the pitch and had some exercises with the ball, after which they played a twi-side match 11x11 on the two thirds of the pitch. The only goal was scored by Denis Tkachuk, who is on a tryout, as the website of the club informs.

On Wednesday Zenit will play a light morning training session, play against Al-Shahania at 16:00 and fly to St.Petersburg.
