Ghanaian pair of Emmanuel Frimpong and Awal Mohammed failed to make their Russian Premier League debut on Monday.
Former Arsenal ace Emmanuel Frimpong watched from the bench as his Arsenal Tula side shared the spoils in a 0-0 draw with newly-promoted Orenburg who finished the game with ten men.
Meanwhile defender Awal Mohammed conspicuously missed out of the squad.
Both Frimpong and Awal signed for Tula on the day in the first week of August.
Frimpong has experience in playing the highly-incensed racial league after spending two seasons with FK Ufa in the top-flight.
