Girona head coach Michel dispelled journalists' doubts that Viktor Tsygankov decided to save himself for the Ukraine national team.
"You have seen what a blow Viktor received. He has a sprain of the ligaments of the knee. During the week he tried to return to training, but he felt discomfort. Of course, every day he will get better, so we will see....
I do not know when the Ukraine national team plays. Tsygankov had to go to the location, so that the national team medics assessed his condition. There they will decide whether he is ready to play, how he feels, how he trains. Nothing special. Problems with the knee. It hurts a lot, he did not train today. That's all.
Tsygankov is 100% loyal and committed to Girona. We have no doubts about him," Michela is quoted by Futbol Fantasy.
Tsygankov missed Girona's match against Getafe due to a knee injury, but arrived in the Ukraine national team. On 21 March, the Blue-Yellows will meet Bosnia and Herzegovina in a play-off for Euro 2024 qualification.
