Famous Ukrainian coach Oleh Fedorchuk spoke about the large number of injured players of the Ukrainian national team after the decisive matches of the Euro 2024 qualifying round.
Oleg Fedorchuk- Rebrov's workload is definitely not to blame. There are two reasons for this - emotional stress and bad pitches in matches for the national team. Most likely, the emotional outburst was very high, and the players played to the limit of their strength, especially Yaremchuk.
It was obvious that Malinowski was having a hard time, he slipped when the Icelanders scored a goal. Many of our players fell. The pitch was hard, not of very high quality with a sticky field, either in Wroclaw or Zenica. Our players were so charged up for the match that their muscles couldn't take it afterwards.
In addition, Malinowski and Yaremchuk did not have a long cycle of playing in the starting line-up. All these factors played a role in their injuries. There are no injuries out of the blue.

In late winter and early spring, the body is relaxed and it is not difficult to catch the disease. You can't run away from nature," the expert is sure.
