After a serious injury to the face sustained by Zhytomyr Polissya striker Pylyp Budkivsky last Monday in the away match of the 23rd round of the Ukrainian championship against Minaj, he is recovering at home in Kyiv.
- "Now I have at least time to pay attention to my children, because I'm hardly at home. The condition after the injury is a little better, although I still have pain. When I yawn or sneeze, I hear a crunch in the damaged areas. I still have four fractures - under my eye, under my nose, and a crack in my jaw. And my teeth are still loose. But it's okay, we are holding on.
After recovery, I will need a protective mask. You know, I want to be safe for a while at least. After all, you have to go to the joints, and it will still linger in your subconscious. Moreover, the doctor warns me that I shouldn't suffer a second injury," said the forward.
