Shakhtar Donetsk goalkeeper Andriy Pyatov has revealed that he received an invitation to the Ukraine national team for a match against England in the Euro 2024 qualifier.
- Did you know that I was called up to England again? Ruslan Rotan called me. He said: "I do not mind if you come, because we had 2 goalkeepers there and the third one should have a visa". He said: "And you have a British visa, so I`m inviting you". I replied: "No, Petrovich.
Why did you refuse? Because I had already said goodbye. There are force majeure situations, like Shovkovskiy`s, when there was a pandemic. Oleksandr had to take the gloves off. Everything could be, but I understood that there were Trubin and Lunin - two good goalkeepers and there was only one game. I'm done," Pyatov said in an interview with Shakhtar's press service.
