Forward Ghent Roman Yaremchuk will not help the Ukrainian team in the upcoming friendly matches against Saudi Arabia and Japan due to injury.

Forward Ghent Roman Yaremchuk first received a challenge to the national team of Ukraine, but will not be able to help his national team because of injury.

"Of course, emotions are only positive, because playing for the national team is the dream of every football player. Now I have a situation that I can not help because of the damage. I will spend several days in the team's location and return to Belgium, "Yaremchuk said..

"Now it's hard to say how serious a trauma. First, a period of three weeks was determined, but only one. It will be necessary to do a repeated MRI, then something will become clear. Of course, I want to return as soon as possible, but do not force events ".

"Yes, I spoke with Andriy Shevchenko, it was an ordinary working conversation. The coach understood me, I understood him, we came to the common opinion ".

"Of course, this is very unpleasant, because this is my first challenge to the national team. I was trying to be ready for him, and then such a surprise. But this is football, no one is immune from this.

I have to be a professional and take everything seriously ".

"In the team I was accepted well, all the guys are very friendly, so there were no problems. I will share the number with Nikita Burda. Some players knew due to a joint performance at the World Cup U-20. I also know many guys from Dynamo, so I think there will be no problems ".

In the current season, Yaremchuk held 25 games for Gent, in which he scored nine goals and gave two assists.
