Shakhtar Donetsk defender Viktor Kornienko was injured in the UPL round 9 match against Dynamo Kiev (3: 0).

In one of the moments of the first half, the captain of Kiev Sergey Sidorchuk played very roughly against the defender of the Donetsk side, which is why he received a red card.

Shakhtar said on his official website that Kornienko was eliminated before the end of the year and will not help the team in seven matches (3 in the Champions League and 4 in the UPL).

He will also miss the matches of the Ukrainian national team, where he received his debut challenge.

" Today we conducted a medical examination: a rupture of the lateral ligaments of the ankle with partial damage to the tibiofibular syndesmosis was revealed. In this case, the footballer was on the verge of surgical treatment. This is a serious injury. According to preliminary estimates, treatment and rehabilitation of Kornienko will take from 4 to 6 weeks, "
