Shakhtar midfielder Georgiy Sudakov explained to Tribuna.com how he ended up on holiday in Dubai during the team's training camp in Turkey.
"We were given three days off. I wanted to meet my family. We had a choice: either they would come to us in Turkey, or I would come to Dubai, because my family had a transplant there. We decided to meet in the UAE because it meant we could spend one day longer with our family.
I would like to apologise for the photos that were published. I think it was wrong in this day and age, it should not have been done. I understand that many people are unable to go on holiday or meet their families now, and these photos are inappropriate," Sudakov said.
