“Zubkov’s injury worries me. Now we are forced to think about who to replace him with. In the match with "Alexandria" he "tugged" the back muscle, and when this happens instantly, it's for a long time and it's not a spasm.

In addition, Cannabis and Swede have certain problems. Cannabis will try to work out on Sunday, but will the pain go away? There are positive dynamics - let's look at him in contact training: can he keep up the pace, so that we understand if we can count on him in the game against Leipzig.

And Shved has had problems with his groin for some time, and his recovery dynamics is not the same.

Ocheretko also needs a couple more days to return. It's a pity that two useful left-footed wingers who fit our game model are not with the team now," Jovičević said after yesterday's match with Oleksandriya (2:2) in the 10th round of the Ukrainian Championship.
