Russia will be without key midfielder Alan Dzagoev at the European Championships after he withdrew from the squad with a broken metatarsal.

Dzagoev suffered the injury playing for Russian champions CSKA Moscow in their 1-0 win against Rubin Kazan at the weekend.

Dzagoev is one of Russia's most influential and experienced players and is just one cap away from 50 appearances for his country.

A statement from the Russian Football Union said: "The player has undergone the medical examination which confirmed the fracture of the second instep bone. The injury does not let Dzagoev take part in the Euro 2016."

Russia head coach Leonid Slutskiy has called up Krasnodar's Dmitri Torbinski as Dzagoev's replacement in his 23-man squad.

The 32-year-old returned to the Russia fold last year after almost four years in the international wilderness.

Russia are in Group B with England, Slovakia and Wales and open their campaign against Roy Hodgson's side in Marseille on Saturday June 11.

They will also take on the Czech Republic and Serbia in friendlies before heading to France next month.

The Russian Football Union (RFU) announced the squad on Saturday, with Slutskiy including the 28-year-old Schalke defender Roman Neustadter, who who was born in Ukraine and does not yet have Russian citizenship. He has been living in Germany since he was a child and has played for Germany's youth teams.

Neustadter is expected to get a Russian passport in the next few days, which will allow him to play for the national team.
