Shakhtar defender Yaroslav Rakitskiy said he would return to the Ukrainian national team if called up.
"If I get a call-up to the national team, I will be very happy. There is a tradition in the national team: a newcomer must perform a song. And although I have played more than fifty matches for the national team, I am still ready to sing something for the guys during this symbolic event. And then I would have already performed the Ukrainian anthem at the stadium. In any case, I sing it and will continue to sing it," Rakitskiy said.
