Football expert and coach Oleg Fedorchuk talked about how the absence of Artem Dovbyk and Mykhailo Mudryk will affect the playoff match of the Nations League against Belgium.

"If the main team's adaptation to the absence of Mykhailo Mudryk has already taken place, for coaches, his partners, and fans, then the loss due to Artem Dovbyk's illness is unexpected and serious. Mudryk has been performing well for the national team lately, although it was difficult to integrate him into the team play. Nevertheless, he tends to act individually, more focused on attack. Ultimately, his virtues are explosive speed and one-on-one play.
As for Dovbyk, I cannot say that he is irreplaceable, but the fact that competition among strikers will practically disappear due to his absence is undeniable. Therefore, in my opinion, these players are equally valuable to the national team," Fedorchuk said.
