When Fyodor Smolov, the top scorer of the Russian Premier League for two seasons running, recovered from the injury he was suffering from in the beginning of the 2017–18 season and moved back into the lineup, Ignatyev was moved back into the Krasnodar's junior squad. He continued to score prolifically there, including 16 goals in 12 games for the Under-21 squad and 10 goals in the 2017–18 UEFA Youth League, including 5 in one game and 4 in another, making him the top scorer of that competition at the winter break.
