Polissia's retired player Ruslan Babenko has returned from injury and will soon return to the field. The press service of the club informs about this.

The 32-year-old Ukrainian skipped the remaining five years through training, and then began training with the back group of the Zhytomyr team.

“I don’t remember such an important period in my career. Having worked a lot in the gym, having given a lot of time to rejuvenate, and one can say that physical condition is not at its best. I feel better with skin exercises. Having been really busy with the matches.

First of all, I want to thank all the medical staff, physiotherapists, trainers with whom I underwent rehabilitation. Even radium turn around. The most important period of the first part of the season is ahead. I’m already looking forward to these matches and I hope that I can help the team,” Babenko said.

This season, Babenko played in six matches, including one assist..

Polissia will play its next match against Kryvbas until the 1/8 finals of the Ukrainian Cup. It will be today, 30 June, about 15. 30 outside Kiev.
