Football agent Oleksandr Pankov explained why his client Dmytro Chygrynskyi was excluded from Shakhtar's application for the Ukrainian Premier League.
- "Yes, it's true, he has been excluded from the UPL application. But his contract is valid until the end of the season. They did this because he had a recurrence of the injury - he almost recovered, tried, but the injury prevented him from working at 100%.
He has a contract with Shakhtar, he is recovering, he is in the team. Nothing terrible happened. Of course, I would like him to help Shakhtar in the championship and the Cup, but his age and this injury, which is not very serious, but which does not allow him to work at 100%. That's why he is undergoing rehabilitation and coming to the training base. As soon as he gets better, he will start training with the team. But he won't be able to play this season," Pankov said.
