“Details of the tragedy are being determined,” Lokomotiv said. “(He) was a kind and compassionate person, and a good friend. FC Lokomotiv is shaken by what has happened.”
Samokhvalov came through Lokomotiv’s academy and won a Russian junior title in 2016. He played for Lokomotiv reserve team Kazanka in the third division for the last two seasons.
