Zenit St Petersburg announce that they have released Yaroslav Rakitslay, who requested an exit from the club amid Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Ukraine international Yaroslav Rakitskiy has been given permission to leave Zenit St Petersburg with immediate effect.

The defender has spent the last three years with the Russian giants, making a total of 108 appearances in all competitions.

The 32-year-old had been in a position where he had four months left on his contract, leaving him in a position to explore a transfer elsewhere.

However, Zenit announced on Wednesday that they have granted a request from Ratikskiy to leave with immediate effect, a consequence of Russia's invasion of the player's homeland.

While Russian clubs were sanctioned by UEFA on Monday, Zenit were eliminated from the Europa League last week. body check tags ::
