Dmytro Babeliuk, a sports doctor who used to work at Lviv Rukh, spoke about the situation with Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Marian Shved, who recently returned to the field after an operation he underwent in November last year.

"An interesting situation unfolds around the return to play of Marjan Shved.

He came out at the end of the game against Kryvbas and even managed to distinguish himself. However, during the celebration he grabbed the groin area, which had been problematic before.

Watching his game, after that moment, we can note that at pauses Marian constantly held on to the area of his drive muscles, stretching them, testing and trying to reduce the discomfort.

Jovicevic (Igor Jovicevic, - Shakhtar head coach, - editor's note). after the match, he noted that the emergence of pain in the player was sad news, which spoiled his mood.

As you know, Marian had a surgery in Spain because of pubalgia. The intervention was performed to restore the integrity of the attachment of the tendon to the pelvic bones.

Most likely, Maryan is not fully ready for the game load and it will hardly help him in the game against Feyenoord.

We should add that Shved arrived in the lineup of Shakhtar for the return match against Feyenoord in the 1/8 finals of the Europa League, which will be held this Thursday in Rotterdam.
