Andrei Arshavin will captain Russia for the rest of their World Cup qualifying campaign after an impressive performance in the 3-0 victory over Finland.

2009 Russia Andrei Arshavin - 0

Regular skipper Sergei Semak was on the bench with a minor injury but Russia coach Guus Hiddink told reporters after the win, which put the team a point behind Group Four leaders Germany, Arshavin would remain captain even with Semak in the starting line-up.

Arsenal forward Arshavin was Russia's captain during their Euro 2008 qualifiers but was stripped of his duties after being sent off in their final game in Andorra.
