Yuri Vladimirovich Lodygin (Russian: Юрий Владимирович Лодыгин, Greek: Γιούρι Λοντίγκιν); born 26 May 1990) is a Russian-Greek professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Zenit Saint Petersburg.
Club career
Born in Vladimir to a Russian father and a Pontic Greek mother, and lived since 2000 in Greece, Lodygin played for Skoda Xanthi, coming from the youth team. During the 2008–09 season, his performances with the Skoda Xanthi U21 team, which finished first in the U21 Greek Superleague, lead to his first professional contract with the first team, which he signed on 17 June 2009. He was then loaned at Eordaikos 2007 for the 2010–11 season, where he made 25 first team appearances (and 2 in the Greek Cup). He later returned to Skoda Xanthi, where he made his first appearance in the last match of the season against Ergotelis; since the 2012–13 season, he has been a member of the starting line-up. He was member of the Greek U21 Football Team.
In June 2013, Lodygin moved to Russia to play for Zenit Saint Petersburg for a fee of €800.000.
International career
Lodygin represented Greece internationally at youth level, obtaining three caps with the U21 side between 2010 and 2012. He was called up to the Greece senior squad in May 2013. He was called up again in August 2013, but he refused to report.
He was called up by Fabio Capello to the Russian squad for the first time on 4 October 2013 for the team's 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification matches against Luxembourg and Azerbaijan.[1] He made his debut for Russia on 19 November 2013 in a friendly against South Korea.
On 2 June 2014, he was included in Russia's 2014 FIFA World Cup squad.[2] Igor Akinfeev played in goal for all of their matches in a group stage exit. He was also included in Russia's Euro 2016 squad.[3]
