Dmytro Babeliuk, the former doctor of Lviv "Rukh" told about the degree of seriousness of the injury that Ukrainian national team midfielder Andriy Yarmolenko suffered in yesterday's match for his club, "Al-Ain".
Andriy Yarmolenko"Andriy Yarmolenko injured his thigh muscle and will most likely not help the national team in the game against England (The starting match of the Ukrainian national team in the qualifying round of Euro 2024 to be held on March 26 in London - ed.). The captain of the Ukraine national team was unable to complete the first half of the game for Al-Ain due to an injury sustained 42 minutes into the game.
As can be seen from the video, the player injured his quadriceps muscle. Yarmolenko tried squatting, trying to test the muscle and make sure that's where the injury is. The muscles of the front to the back of the thigh are often injured during sprints, which happened this time as well.
Andrey's reaction to the injury is also striking, because experienced players usually sense immediately how serious the injury is. Kudos to the doctors who immediately pointed to the replacement without trying to investigate the extent of the injury on the field and return the player for a trial load.
Depending on the severity of the injury, it can take anywhere from 3 to 6 weeks to recover from it. Given that the match against England is in 4 weeks, and should still train and gain form, the chances that Andriy will help the national team - are minimal," Babeljuk wrote in his Telegram channel.
