Garibov ( RUS ) out of Tournament of Champions 2014 in Cottbus

The shoulder injury that is keeping team captain Emin Garibov out of Cottbus may also prevent him from competing at the World Championships this autumn, says Valentina Rodionenko.

'Initially, their doctors were inclined to operate, but then decided to prefer conservative treatment. In late March, Emin will have a check up with German doctors, to see if his shoulder has improved. If not, he will need an operation. In this case, Russia might not even be able to rely on Emin for Worlds. With this kind of joint injury, you can't expect a quick recovery.'
