FC Zenit St. Petersburg will be without Roman Shirokov for both UEFA Europa League group fixtures against HNK Hajduk Split after the Russia midfielder broke a little toe in training.
The 29-year-old is expected to be available again in two to three weeks, but will sit out the Russian Premier-Liga leaders' two UEFA Europa League Group G games against Hajduk. Zenit host the Croatian club later today before travelling to Split for the return match on 4 November. Shirokov has scored six goals in 19 league outings this term.
