Sports doctor Dmytro Babeliuk, known for his work at Rukh Lviv, commented on the situation with another injury to Ukrainian defender Vitaliy Mykolenko of Liverpool Everton.
Vitaliy Mykolenko (left)"In yesterday's cup game against Doncaster, Vitaliy came off the bench for the first time this season. Mykolenko missed the entire pre-season recovering from a muscle injury, and these were his first 75 minutes of action. On the one hand, it is strange to give a player the full 90 minutes in the first match after an injury and expect him to play them. As a result, the Ukrainian limped off towards the end of the match.
Today, Daich confirmed that Vitaliy will not play in the next match. This also puts Vitaliy's participation in the national team games that will take place next week at risk. If we are talking about a recurrence of the muscle injury, it means a second injury for 1-2 months. If it was a simple precaution to avoid harm, then the player may be fine, but there is very little chance that he will be ready to play for the national team.
Dyche is known for his old-school methods, but to release a wing player who has to do a lot of sprints in his first game after an injury for 90 minutes is..." Babeliuk wrote on Telegram.
