The head coach of the Italian “Roma” Claudio Ranieri explained why the Ukrainian forward of his team Artem Dovbik was not included in the squad for yesterday’s match of the Italian championship against “Lecce” (4:1).
“Dovbik had been ill, and I didn’t want to risk his health. We could lose him again. But I hope that Dovbik will be ready for the match against “Braga” (December 12, as part of the main stage of the Europa League, - ed. note),” said Ranieri after the match with “Lecce”.
Let us remind you that Dovbik trained separately from his team yesterday, following an individual program.
