The opponent of the national team of Ukraine in the final of the Euro-2024 playoffs, Iceland, having defeated Israel in the semifinals (4: 1), has already begun preparations for the match with our team.
The islanders' head coach Ege Gareide has 25 players under his command, not all of whom were fully prepared for the match against Israel. This includes the team captain Johann Gudmundsson, who missed the semi-final due to injury. It is also known that Arnor Traustason and Arnor Sigurdsson were replaced by Arnor Sigurdsson during the game with the Israelis due to injury. But as of now, no one has left the Icelandic national team camp. On the contrary, the coaching staff of our opponent has called up 25-year-old midfielder Stefan Teitur of the Danish club Silkeborg.
