He is a fighter? and said that even if everything were returned again, he would not have removed his leg and would still go to the end for the sake of winning our national team. This is where his true human and fighting qualities are manifested..

We hope that the operation will not be needed, everything will be fine, and if the doctors allow, we will organize for him and his wife a trip to the game of the Ukrainian national team with England, so that he was next to the team, "
