The head coach of Odesa's "Chornomorets" Oleksandr Kuchery explained the reason for replacing his team's defender Yaroslav Rakytskyi at the very beginning of the second half of yesterday's match of the 25th round of the Ukrainian championship against Rivne's "Veres" (1:2).
"Rakytskyi had a problem. He wanted to play but felt severe pain and we had to replace him," Kuchery said at the press conference after the match with "Veres".
Let us remind you, "Chornomorets" is one of the opponents of Kyiv's "Dynamo" in the final stretch of the current Ukrainian championship: the teams will play against each other in Odesa as part of the penultimate, 29th round of the tournament (the base day of the round is May 17).
