Dmitry Kravchenko was injured in one of the martial arts at the end of the first home match of the Europa League against Sporting (1: 2). Damage turned out to be more serious than it seemed at first glance..

"At the moment we were ahead in the long run, while the Portuguese could not manage to score a goal. Therefore, the struggle, the closer to the final whistle, became harder. At some point, I felt a strong kick in the leg. I was helped, and I continued the game, and soon I realized that I couldn’t continue, and asked for a replacement, "says midfielder Vorskla.

The diagnosis that Dmitry made - the closed fracture of the anterior edge of the right tibia - showed that the footballer would need surgery.

Football player operated on in one of the Kiev clinics. The official site of Vorskla reports that the operation was successful. Now, according to preliminary forecasts, Kravchenko will need four to five months of the rehabilitation period..
