Details have emerged regarding the injury of AS Roma forward Artem Dovbyk, which the player sustained in yesterday’s Italian championship match against Udinese.

According to Sportmediaset, after the match, Dovbyk underwent medical examination, which revealed tendon damage to the rectus femoris muscle of his left thigh. It is noted that the Ukrainian footballer will require approximately 4−6 weeks for recovery.

As a result, Dovbyk will miss both of Ukraine’s upcoming World Cup 2026 qualifying matches against France and Iceland.

Forward of «Empoli» Bohdan Popov and striker of «Union» (Berlin) Dmytro Bohdanov exchanged jerseys during a meeting, reports telegram channel ZoryaLondonsk.

The head coach of Genoa, Daniele De Rossi, summing up the results of yesterday’s 11th round match of the Italian Championship against Fiorentina (2:2), highlighted the level of the Ukrainian midfielder of his team, Ruslan Malinovskyi.

’Malinovskyi is perhaps the most talented player on our team. It’s another matter that if we play as we did today, it will be difficult to achieve success with any lineup. In a team experiencing difficulties, you need to start with fight, with enthusiasm. I hope we won’t always play like this,' De Rossi’s words are quoted by Tuttosport.

Let’s add that Malinovskyi missed the match with Fiorentina due to an accumulation of yellow cards.

Last Sunday, the opponents of Kyiv’s Dynamo for the remaining three rounds of the main stage of the Conference League played another set of matches in their national championships.

The head coach of Juventus, Luciano Spalletti, commented on the match against Torino in the 11th round of the Italian Serie A 2025/2026 season.

«When the game is so tough, you need to show the qualities, the creativity we lacked today, that meticulous precision in passing the ball between two opponents. We need to improve, because we have potential. We are not thrilled, no one in the locker room was thrilled, and that’s right. These first three games confirmed what I thought about this team: we need to be more qualified, even in passes and crosses,» the club’s official website quotes Spalletti.

The matches of the 11th round of the Italian Championship took place. The matches were held from November 7 to November 9. We present their results to your attention.

The day did not go well for the Ukrainian forward of Italy’s 'Roma' Artem Dovbyk during today’s 11th round match of the Italian championship against 'Udinese' (2:0).

The 28-year-old player was in the starting lineup for the Romans in this match, but towards the end of the first half, clutching his thigh, he requested a substitution.

Let us recall, Dovbyk was called up to the Ukrainian national team for the World Cup 2026 qualifier matches against France (November 13) and Iceland (November 16).

Nápoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis launched fierce criticism at the state of the Naples stadium 'Diego Armando Maradona'.

’Maradona' is a hole! I said the same thing before. PSG pays the same for stadium rent as we do, but they have full exclusivity, and they earn 100 million euros a year, while we only have access for three days: before, during, and after the match. It’s an old stadium, with an athletics track and even a moat, which pushes fans even further away. Fans want to access the stadium by car. We need 30 hectares for a truly modern stadium," De Laurentiis told Football Italia.

Genoa head coach Daniele De Rossi commented on the inability to include Ruslan Malinovskyi in the team’s lineup for the match against Fiorentina in the 11th round of the Italian championship.

The Ukrainian midfielder will miss the match due to an accumulation of yellow cards. However, the new trainer of the 'grifoni' emphasized that the Ukrainian national team’s star will still have to fight for a place in the starting lineup.

«He definitely won’t be on the field. He still needs to earn his place in the team, although I have always rated him highly, even when he was an opponent. But whoever takes his place will play their match,» De Rossi is quoted by TUTTOmercatoWEB.

The Genoa vs. Fiorentina match will take place on Sunday, November 9th. The game starts at 16:00.
