Head coach of the national team of Ukraine Andrea Maldera commented on the personnel situation in the national team before the match with the Ukrainians.
According to the specialist, the leftist Bohdan Mikhailichenko, obviously, will not be able to play. The decision on the availability of right winger Oleksandr Zubkov will be made later. Central retiree Mikola Shaparenko has leg problems.
" There was a cold in the remaining days. Shchodo Oleksandr - in nogo bіl at the back. Tomorrow we will see the game, we can play something else. Why is Mikoli Shaparenka worried, his leg and calf hurt?.
We have a lot of daily players - with injuries, with disqualifications, but I would like to focus on those who will take to the field tomorrow. What a miracle it will be for young people of Grave to show, to show themselves, their virility. We need to increase the number of competitors on the national team roster. And such matches, in principle, are good for everyone,” said Malder.
Guess what, it became clear earlier that offensive player Georgiy Sudakov would miss the match against the Ukrainians due to injury. Until the new growth of the “blue-zhovtikh”, the leftist Vitaly Mykolenko was deprived.
