Former Veres coach, former Shakhtar and Ukraine goalkeeper Yuriy Virt told Tribuna.com who he thinks can play in goal for the national team in the upcoming matches.
"I think it's probably too early to draw conclusions, because there are less than two months left, they play at the end of March. Therefore, it is difficult to draw conclusions about who should be number one now. God forbid an injury, like with Dovbyk.
I can say that the strongest competition in the national team is goalkeeping - it is extremely difficult to choose a goalkeeper. Because there is Trubin, Lunin, Bushchan, Riznyk - four high-level goalkeepers. Serhiy Stanislavovych will have to rack his brains here. It is clear that Lunin and Trubin are the favourites.
Trubin has played almost all the recent games. I think he will have a slight advantage. But the way Lunin is playing now, the choice will be extremely difficult. And it's interesting, because, really, there are two goalkeepers of a very high class, and you just have to choose and guess.
A lot will depend on the fact that they will analyse the opponent and select a goalkeeper for him. I think they will give preference to Trubin. But there is a big "but" - we may see Lunin in the goal," said Wirth.
In the first semi-final of the play-offs for Euro 2024, the Ukrainian national team will play Bosnia and Herzegovina. If they win, the Ukrainians will play Iceland or Israel in the final.
