* Firstly Ilya Eleferenko and Pavel Kukuyan were appointed on Krasnodar vs Rotor as assistant referee and VAR respectively, but both were replaced after getting doubtful tests on COVID-19. Because of the same reason Andrey Gurbanov will work on Sochi vs Akhmat as assistant referee instead of Valery Danchenko
