Published: February 19, 2017
Russian champions CSKA Moscow are getting set for the resumption of the Premier League on March 4, and faced off with Sarpsborg 08 in a friendly at their training camp in Spain on Sunday evening.
Aaron Samuel, who defended the colours of Sarpsborg 08 for one year before transferring to Guangzhou R&F in 2014, was included in the starting line-up of the Muscovites.
However, the Super Eagles striker was replaced after only 11 minutes and it is unclear at this point why he was substituted.
