From today, there will be one player less at the disposal of the Ukrainian national team: the midfielder of the Italian Spezia Viktor Kovalenko will leave the camp of the national team.
The day before, the 26-year-old footballer underwent an MRI examination, which revealed a tear in the adductor muscle. This rules out Kovalenko's participation in the remaining Nations League matches (against Armenia on 24 September and against Scotland on 27 September).
Recall that goalkeeper Anatoly Trubin will also leave the Ukrainian national team, who will go to the youth national team of Ukraine to help it in the playoffs of the Euro 2023 (U-21) qualifying round against Slovakia (September 23 and September 27). Instead, the composition of the national team will be strengthened by the goalkeeper of Kolos Evgeny Volynets.
