Concern grows as Moscow pitch a ‘disappointment’

THE state of the Luzhniki Stadium pitch is causing concern ahead of tomorrow night’s final.

Matt Frost, who oversaw the laying of a new grass surface at the Moscow venue admits he has fears ahead of the game.

‘‘The pitch is a big personal disappointment for me,’’ Frost said. ‘‘Things didn’t go well from the start, the pitch has only been down 15 days.’’
