St. Petersburg, July 27, Taras Barabash. Fiorentina striker Alexander Kokorin said that he was absent from the Italian club on an international tour, because he was not yet ready to train in the general group. Earlier, Fiorentina published the squad for training camps in Austria and Spain. The 31-year-old striker was not among the 29 players called up for the tour. «They told me to train here because I missed a lot and I'm not ready to train with everyone yet. I'm fine. News about the termination of the contract in the Russian media? I always do it I only see it in the press,» Kokorin said. Kokorin moved to Fiorentina in January 2021 from Spartak Moscow. The contract of the 31-year-old player with the club runs until 2024. Last season, he played six matches in the Italian championship, while he never appeared in the starting lineup.
