DENVER -- Colorado Avalanche goalie Semyon Varlamov can remain free on bond while facing a domestic violence charge involving his girlfriend, a judge said Monday. Varlamov appeared in court for a brief hearing as the judge formally advised him that he faces a misdemeanour charge of third-degree assault. He is scheduled to enter a plea at his next hearing on Jan. 22. Most misdemeanour cases in Denver are settled with plea bargains, but a spokeswoman for the District Attorneys Office declined to say whether an agreement was likely in this case. Neither Varlamov nor his attorneys commented when they left court Monday. Varlamovs girlfriend, Evgeniya Vavrinyukat, told police he knocked her down with a kick, stomped on her chest and dragged her by her hair at their apartment on Oct. 30, according to an arrest affidavit. She also accused him of telling her that he would have beaten her more if they had been in Russia, authorities said. Varlamov could face a sentence ranging from probation to two years in jail if convicted of the assault charge. He wore a blue suit and open-collar white shirt in court Monday and gave yes or no answers to the judge. Varlamov, 25, is one of NHLs hottest goalies and has helped the Avalanche to a franchise-best 19-6 start. He is free on $5,000 bond and has been travelling and playing with the team. The judge has ordered him to stay away from his girlfriend and told him he could not drink alcohol or possess firearms. J. C. Ramirez Angels Jersey .

Russia was eliminated after the group stage in Brazil without winning a game, prompting speculation the Italian would be fired. "If Im here, then its clear that Ill continue to work with the Russian team. Its already confirmed," Capello said Wednesday after a second meeting with Russian Football Union officials. Capello said he had the trust of the RFU and the countrys sports ministry, and was prepared to resign if he ever felt he had lost that trust. Capello signed a contract extension in January taking him through to the World Cup in Russia in 2018. That deal reportedly contains a clause that would require the RFU to pay at least $25 million in compensation for firing him at this stage. The 68-year-old Capello has previously said the Russia job will be his last. The Italian took over the Russia team in July 2012, five months after leaving his job as England coach.dddddddddddd Capello guided Russia to the World Cup, finishing ahead of Portugal in qualifying, and set a target of reaching the quarterfinals in Brazil. After Russias group stage failure, nationalist lawmaker Vladimir Zhirinovsky called Capello "a thief" over his reported $11 million-a-year salary. The head of the Russian parliaments sports committee said Capello would be called to testify in October, although it is not yet clear whether that will take place. Capello said Wednesday he is now focused on qualifying for the 2016 European Championships, in which Sweden, Austria and Montenegro await Russia in qualifying. Following criticism that his World Cup squad did not include enough young players who could star for Russia in 2018, Capello said he wanted to pick more youngsters but that they "are not playing" often enough for Russian clubs.
