"Zorya are without central defenders ahead of Shakhtar

According to TaToTake, none of Zorya's three main centre-backs will be able to play against Shakhtar today.

Jordan and Arseniy Batagov will miss the match due to too many cards, while Anton Bol has not recovered from his knee injury.

Thus, Yuriy Koval and Mladen Bartulovic will have to mould the centre of defence from what they have. That is, they will either have to play very young players against the champion or transfer players of other roles to the defence. Bohdan Butko has experience of playing in the centre of defence. According to the source, he will be one of the central defenders.
