Commenting on the selection of players by head coach Serhii Rebrov for the national team's March matches, journalist Serhii Tyshchenko said that Brentford midfielder Yegor Yarmolyuk deserved his debut call-up to the Blue and Yellows.
"To be honest, I thought that Serhii Rebrov would call Yegor Yarmolyuk to the national team. He is a regular substitute in the Premier League. There was a period when he even played quite a lot.
The Premier League is the strongest league in the world. Any experience in it is a huge plus for any player. You play against the best players in the world.
Yarmolyuk knows how to come on as a substitute. He has no mental problems with it. Yegor gives a lot of work.
Now the national team will need to build a new midfield line. Stepanenko will not be there at all. Zinchenko is recovering from an injury. It is unlikely that he will be able to play both matches. Sudakov's form is not convincing at all.
Choice and depth will definitely come in handy in the midfield when we need to play two important matches in a short time," Tyshchenko wrote on his Facebook page.
