Kovalenko was injured in the next match for Spezia

Midfielder of the Ukrainian national team and the Italian "Spezia" Viktor Kovalenko was injured in the next match for his club.

Viktor Kovalenko

The 26-year-old football player got into the starting lineup of Spezia for yesterday's away match of the Italian Championship with Bologna, but after one of the duels, already in the 18th minute of this meeting, he had to leave the field. There is still no detailed information about the nature of Kovalenko's injury and the timing of his return to service - the Spezia media reported only that the Ukrainian had a muscle injury.

Accordingly, it is still difficult to understand whether Kovalenko will be able to help the Ukrainian team in the opening match of the Euro 2024 qualifying round with the England team, which will be held on March 26 in London.
