[edit] Club career

[edit] Russia

Izmailov emerged through local FC Lokomotiv Moscow's youth ranks, making a lightning progression in a period of six months. He was already a very important club member when Lokomotiv won the league titles in 2002 and 2004, and the player received the 2001 award for Best Young Player.[1] However, early on, he also suffered often with injuries.[2] On 24 October 2001, he was one the players who helped crush R.S.C. Anderlecht in Brussels, for the season's UEFA Champions League (5–1).[3]

[edit] Sporting

In July 2007, Izmailov was loaned for one season to Sporting Clube de Portugal, making his official debut in the Supercup on 11 August, against F.C. Porto in Leiria; the game ended 1–0, with the game's only goal being scored by him at the 75th minute, with a long-distance effort; he also played that match with an injury.[4]

On 6 October 2007, coming from the bench, Izmailov contributed with two late goals (his first league ones) in a 3–0 home win against Vitória de Guimarães, and eventually helped the club finish second in the league, adding the domestic cup also against Porto. During the following summer, he signed a permanent deal with the Lisbon-based outfit, which paid Lokomotiv €4.5 millions.[5][6][7]

In 2009–10, Izmailov's physical problems resurfaced, and he would spend more than three months in the sidelines with a knee condition.[8] He returned to training following coach Paulo Bento's dismissal, in late November 2009, but spent most of the following years on the sidelines, nursing the same injury,[9] and quarreling with Sporting's board of directors over the issue.[10]

[edit] International career

Izmailov made his debut with Russia aged just 19,[11] and was summoned for the squads at the 2002 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 2004, playing twice in each of those tournaments.
