Head coach of Zari Yuri Vernidub told about the personnel situation before the first match against Leipzig.

Yuri Vernidub noted that forward Artem Gromov will miss the first match against Leipzig, but Luis Felipe and Levan Arveladze are in the ranks.

"We announced Artem Gromov to the playoffs, but in this meeting he certainly will not play, as working in the general group is likely to be from Friday. If he manages to gain the necessary conditions, he will fly to Germany for a return meeting, "- said Vernidou.

"The chance is to play with all the guys and Luis Felipe including. We count on everyone, because we are all together, one whole and one team! The guys are ready to do everything to help the team to solve the tasks ".

"Levan Arveladze is in the cage now, he is training. I think that tomorrow it will fall into the application of 18 people. I'm sorry that, perhaps very late, he released him in the game with Olimpic. I liked what kind of desire Levan went on the field.

The moment at the end of the meeting was created thanks to him, because Arveladze gave the transfer to Kochergin. We hope for his help ".

Recall that the football players of Leipzig Augustin, Sabitzer and Kampl will not play against Zari.

The match of the play-off round of the Europa League between Zarei and RB Leipzig, which will be shown by the 2 + 2 channel, will take place on Thursday, August 23. Beginning of the meeting at 21:30 Kyiv time.
