Ilya Zabarny, the Ukrainian midfielder of English "Bournemouth" explained why he is not going as a member of the youth team of Ukraine at Euro 2023 (U-21).
"I need some rest. Personally, I had a heavy injury. Now I played for the club and the national team - and I need some rest, recover, prepare for a tough season. Because sometimes injuries bother me.
I will support the Youth national team of Ukraine at Euro 2023. It is a pity I will not go. I understand that if I go, I will play there many matches and right after that I will go to the training camp with Bournemouth - I will have a very hard season, it is very hard after an injury. I am afraid that after a couple of months I will lose myself. So I must recover and help the club and the national team with renewed vigor", - "Suspilne" quotes Zabarny.
