Ukraine national team defender Vitaliy Mykolenko in an interview with the UAF press service spoke about his recovery from the injury he sustained in a recent friendly match against Moldova.
"I have already started working in the gym. Two times a day. I hope to be back on the field soon.
I haven't had such an injury yet. But it turned out well: there are no problems with ligaments, just a strong bruise.
Now I just need time. There are no predictions about the timing of my return to the field: everything depends on how my body and my foot will cope with the situation. Together with the doctor we provide the head coach of the team with information about my condition every day. So every day something changes, I progress in my recovery. I hope that soon I will be back on the soccer field," said Mikolenko.
