Kukhta stepped on the goalkeeper's head and could be disqualified

MOSCOW, Aug 2 Football player playing for Sparta Prague on loan Lokomotiv Moscow's Jan Kuchta could face a long-term suspension for foul play. Kuchta was sent off in Sunday's Czech league game against Slovan (1-2) after stepping on opposing goalkeeper Olivier Vliegen's head. According to isport.cz , according to the regulations, the player faces a suspension of up to six matches and a fine of up to 50,000 CZK (more than $ 2,000). The verdict is expected to be handed down to the player on Thursday. Kuhta joined Lokomotiv in January 2022 from Slavia Prague. In the last game for the Czech team, he received a red card and was suspended for one match. On March 6, Lokomotiv beat Khimki in the 20th round of the 2021/22 Russian Championship with a score of 3:2. Kukhta scored the winning goal. After that, “Khimki” demanded that the railway workers be given a forfeit defeat, believing that Kukhta had no right to play in the match. Later, the Control and Disciplinary Committee of the Russian Football Union ruled that Kukhta implemented a suspension in the Russian Cup match against Yenisei on March 3, so the protest was rejected. Last season, the striker played ten matches in the Russian championship, scored three goals and gave two assists. At the end of June, 25-year-old Kukhta moved to Sparta from Lokomotiv on loan until the end of the season. Sparta will have the priority right to buy Kukhta.
