This was announced by the head coach of the Ukrainian national team Serhiy Rebrov during a press conference, as reported by UNN.
Unfortunately, yes, Roman suffered an injury in the game for his team. He was very upset. We received all the scans showing the injury, and allowed him to receive treatment with his team.

It's not the first time we've had many injuries. This always happens, but all the players who are with the national team are very seriously determined. Tomorrow, I am sure, we will put up a fight.
