Ovechkin's diagnosed with acute exacerbation of bronchitis

Our senior investigative correspondent Emily reports about Pavel Lysenkov's meeting with national team and Moscow Dynamo doctor Valery Konov.

Pavel: What happened to Alexander Ovechkin? He is missing the third Dynamo game.
Valery: He is diagnosed with acute exacerbation of bronchitis. Around November 7 or 8 Ovechkin will start training, but on individual plan.

How it happen that didn't you keep track of the health of the most popular KHL player?
As they say, cold is cold. You need to wear a hat, a scarve. And then, Ovechkin has a lot of contact. He is on demand, he goes to meet people instead of regular check up of the bronchi and lungs. Then goes autographs' session, or meeting with the management. Besides Sasha came after Dynamo players already had their​ vaccination done.

You mean, he still is not vaccinated?
I hope that in America he received​the right shot. Or maybe he was prescribed preventive medicine in the form of garlic.

Is this the same doctor that pronounced him fit to play even though he was missing a tooth?

I personally thought it wasn't the wisest idea for Moscow Dynamo to have Ovi signing autographs last Monday when it sounded like he was pretty ill. Think it would have been best if he had stayed home to rest (and not exposed fans to his illness).

Anyway, hope Ovi's better and can play when KHL next resumes. (Sounds like a bad year for illness in Russia -- not just Ovi. Semin was rather sick during mid October.)
