The head coach of the Ukrainian national football team Oleksandr Petrakov held a pre-match press conference before the League of Nations match against Armenia.

" Management asked me which city I want to play in. I offered to play in Lodz. Many of our Ukrainians work here. More than 6000. That's why I said that it's better to play in Lodz.

Taras Stepanenko has already left, I let him go home. Buschan has already gone home. Sable today only starts training after a cold. And the orphan fell ill, also a cold. And everyone who is healthy - we will see in training now who is ready for tomorrow's game,"

The League of Nations match Ukraine - Armenia will be held tomorrow, June 11, in the Polish city of Lodz.

It should be noted that it was in this city that the Ukrainian U-20 team led by Oleksandr Petrakov won the World Youth Championship in 2019..

In the first match of the new season of the League of Nations, Ukraine beat Ireland 1-0 away, and Viktor Tsyhankov scored the winning goal.
