Salavat Yulaev defenseman Vasilevsky speaks about aftermath of his injury

The Ufa hockey player suffered an upper-body injury on January 8 in a game against Avtomobilist.

"It’s not that serious," Alexey Vasilevsky wrote on his Telegram channel.

The defenseman said he will miss a couple of matches. Despite the injury, he continues to train daily to maintain his form. He hopes to return to game action later this month.
