The authoritative Italian publication La Gazzetta dello Sport believes that Ukrainian forward of Roma Artem Dovbik is returning from the Ukraine national team camp with an unresolved problem with his knee, which he left his club before the international break.
“The situation with Dovbik needs to be monitored. The Ukrainian forward did not start in the match against Albania due to a knee problem,” the media reports.
At the same time, the source clarifies that leaving Dovbik on the bench for the mentioned match was a joint decision with Roma in order to protect the player's knee.
It is worth noting that during the November international matches, Dovbik was included in the starting lineup of the Ukraine national team for the match against Georgia and was substituted in the 80th minute. In the match against Albania, the forward appeared on the field in the 76th minute instead of Roman Yaremchuk.
