The group of assailants, supporters of CSKA, had already targeted Shved inside the club, then followed him when he left and moved on to violence. The “Principino” fell, hitting his head violently, being rescued by the restaurant staff, who managed to drive away the “fans”, who accused him of a performance that was not up to par in the decisive match. Shved initially refused hospitalization but once he got home he felt ill and was forced to ask for help. CSKA announced the incident in a press release, adding that Shved will not be available for the series with Kazan for 3rd and 4th place. “You have to ask the doctors – said the CSKA president when asked about Alexey’s condition – As far as I know, his life is not in danger but I am not able to tell you the seriousness of the situation”.

Alexey was in the club with his family and it certainly wasn’t him. to provoke the attackers. We want to get to the bottom of the story but it will be the forces of order who clarify what happened because it is something that is beyond our competence, a horrible fact. I wish Alexey a speedy recovery”.
