MOSCOW, Nov 19 (Reuters) - Russia striker Roman Pavlyuchenko will miss his team's final Euro 2008 Group E qualifier away to Andorra on Wednesday with an ankle injury.
Pavlyuchenko, who scored both goals in Russia's 2-1 win over England in Moscow last month, suffered the injury in Saturday's 2-1 defeat by Israel in Tel Aviv.
The Russians, who only have an outside chance of reaching the finals, must beat group minnows Andorra and hope that England lose to Croatia in their final qualifier at Wembley.
