On 14 December, the day following their away game against Sevilla FC, the Krasnodar players and coaching staff went on vacation. This winter the team will have 24 days off.
The Bulls will meet again in Krasnodar on 8 January 2019, and the very next day they will depart for the first of the two training camps. Both camps will be held in Spain, in Estepona from 9 to 22 January and in Marbella from 26 January to 6 February. Scrimmages are planned for each of the training camps. Their schedule and opposing teams are currently under negotiation, so they will be announced later.
The team will spend its final week-long training cycle before the fixtures of the UEL Round of 32 at the Chetuk training ground. As a reminder, FC Krasnodar will play the first leg of the clash at home on 14 February 2019.
