Defender of “Rukh” Roman Didyk confirmed that he was on trial with “Sunderland” and shared the details.
— I could have really ended up in England, it was back in 2022, after the full-scale war began. An opportunity came up, and I happily went there, trained for eight or nine days. On the last day, I pulled my groin and because of that couldn’t stay. So I returned back to Ukraine. As far as I know, I went exclusively for a trial. So they could look at me, take note of me, something like that. There was no talk of a transfer back then.
The coaches of “Sunderland” were satisfied, as far as I heard. I trained with the U-23. And what and how next, who knows. As you can see, I play for “Rukh” and all my thoughts are about that.
Why has information about the trial in England just come out now? I was surprised too when I read it. This is old information, if they say I was there now, then it’s definitely a lie. This was before the championship in Ukraine resumed. I went in May-June 2022, — quotes Didyk “UF”.
