Volynets left the field on a stretcher and was taken directly from the stadium to one of the local clinics.
As it turned out, the goalkeeper had a concussion. About it after the match said the head coach of Dnipro-1 Alexander Kucher. "Concussion and dissection," - said the mentor of Dnipro.
Accordingly, within the next few weeks Volynets will not be able to train. On the football field he will return not earlier than the end of August.
