On April 20, 2020, Russian footballer Innokentiy Samokhvalov tragically passed away during an individual training session at Lokomotiv Moscow, which was forced by the coronavirus lockdown.
According to a statement from the Russian club, Samokhvalov felt unwell during the training session, and the circumstances surrounding his death are still being clarified.
Samokhvalov, 22, had been with Lokomotiv since 2015 but had yet to make an appearance in the Russian Premier League. He currently played for Lokomotiv's reserve team Kazanka in Russia's third tier.
His coach at Kazanka, Alexander Grishin, revealed that Samokhvalov had suffered a cardiac arrest.
"He was a kind, nice man, a good friend. It's deeply sad for our family," Lokomotiv said in a statement.
