Famous commentator Ihor Tsyhanyk commented on Serhiy Rebrov's decision to leave Dynamo midfielder Andriy Yarmolenko on the reserve list of the Ukrainian national team.
"I more or less understand why Yarmolenko is on the reserve list. Because the Dynamo winger has not unlimited strength and he has played a very important part since July. This should definitely affect his health. Now it would be more beneficial for him to recover a bit and take some time off to get in shape. Moreover, we understand that somewhere they are counting more on Tsygankov in these matches. Perhaps even Hutsulyak, who looks very good now, at the start of the season.
Now Rebrov understands that the Nations League is the Nations League and it is necessary to try players here. It is necessary, of course, to give results, but also to try players, because there are no more friendly matches, and somewhere you need to play the lineup.
There will be a World Cup qualifier and I am sure that Yarmolenko will play there. I am convinced of this. In March, if everything goes well with him, he will return as the leader of the national team of Ukraine, as the team captain. But now it's the Nations League and we need to try Hutsulyak," the FootballHub telegram channel quoted Tsyhanyk as saying.
