The appearance of young central defender Viallé in the starting lineup for the match against Shakhtar is due to the absence of Eduard Sarapiy, who is not even in the protocol.
According to TaToTake, the Zhytomyr newcomer suffered a severe knee injury during one of the last training sessions. The 25-year-old center back needs surgery on at least the meniscus. According to doctors, Sarapiy is out for 3-4 months and will not play this year.
