Former midfielder of the Ukrainian national team Yevhen Levchenko assessed the squad situation in the national team ahead of the first playoff match of the Nations League against Belgium.

«The absence of Mudryk? He possesses the qualities that set him apart from others. Misha has shown in separate episodes that he can make a difference on the field before this doping incident. We just need to support such a player. His loss is definitely a downside, but I see several options.
Yarmolenko may not last the entire match, but his experience in such clashes will be beneficial. Andriy has regained good form, is helping Dynamo, and will definitely have playing minutes. I have never had and will not have any complaints about him. As long as he can still be useful on the field and in the team — it’s only beneficial for us,» Levchenko said.
