The head coach of Spanish "Girona" Michel explained why the Ukrainian midfielder of his team Viktor Tsygankov missed another control match in preparation for the season - yesterday, against English Sheffield United (2:0).
"Now our main problem is an epidemic of injuries. Viktor Tsygankov, Boha Garcia, Yann Kouto, Ivan Martin....
I hope they will gradually catch up. But so far, all the above players are not ready to play - they have missed too much. This is a significant loss for us," said Michel while talking to reporters after the match with Sheffield United.
It should be added that Tsygankov has not yet taken part in any of Girona's summer off-season friendlies. The Ukrainian has been recovering from an injury all this time and only last Tuesday he had his first training session in the general group of his team.
