Few or no Russian or Ukrainian players have been spotted on Dutch football fields in recent years. With Roman Tugarinov, Telstar is currently the only one in Dutch professional football. The Russian central defender was absent from final training today.

The war between Ukraine and Russia therefore also plays a role for the Velsenaren. Trainer Andries Jonker had an extensive personal conversation with Tugarinov this week to discuss the situation. “He is very concerned.”
Jonker did not want to comment on his situation. It is unclear whether the defender is absent due to an injury or due to a private situation. “That conversation stays between him and me.” Tugarinov has to miss the match against TOP Oss because of his red card against Helmond Sport.
NH Sport previously made the report below about Roman Tugarinov.
Telstar defender Roman Tugarinov: From Eastern Siberia via Barcelona to Velsen-Zuid
Earlier this week, the news came out that Telstar de technical staff for next season has already been completed† Assistant coaches Anthony Correia and Michael Dingsdag signed on. Also midfielder Cas Dijkstra stays longer in Velsen-South† The club will highlight the option in his expiring contract, which means that he is fixed until next summer.
“Pieter will undoubtedly report to me soon”
This naturally also raises the question of what Jonker plans to do. Since his coaching staff has decided to conform to the club for longer, it seems likely that Jonker himself will also extend his expiring contract. “I can’t decide that myself. For that I have to talk to Pieter (De Waard, director of Telstar – ed.). He will undoubtedly report soon.”
