Vera Vetrova is having problems with her back, whereas Anastasia Markova is dealing with a knee injury.”
Recently Dinamo signed Serbian outside spiker Aleksandra Crncevic in order to make up for all these injuries. “Aleksandra has a lot of enthusiasm and she is very motivated to play. This has had a positive effect on our training. She now has to play in order to develop the right chemistry with the team and adjust faster.”
