The Shakhtar defender commented on the situation with his injury, which was reported earlier. Despite the reports of the injury, the player played against Rukh in the Ukrainian league.
- You were recently called up to the Ukrainian national team, but today you were removed from the list. How would you comment on this?
- I have an injury that needs treatment. I talked to our coaches and the national team coaches, and we decided that I would stay at the club to recover.
- What exactly is bothering you and how long will it take to recover?
- This is a long-standing problem that has been bothering me since last year. Today was an important match, so I played "on the injection". I hope this break will be enough for me to recover. Unfortunately, I won't be able to help the national team, but I wish the team success and will sincerely root for them.
