Kyiv • UNN
Oleksiy Sych and Yukhym Konoplya, injured in the game against Belgium, have left the national team. They will not play in Sunday's return match of the Nations League play-offs due to injuries.
Ukrainian national team defenders Oleksiy Sych and Yukhym Konoplya, who were injured in the first play-off match of the League of Nations against Belgium, have left the national team's camp. They will not help the team in the second game against Belgium this Sunday.
This was reported by the Ukrainian Football Association, reports UNN.
Details
Oleksiy Sych and Yukhym Konoplya will not help the national team in the second game against Belgium. The players were injured in the game in Murcia and have already left the national team's camp.
The UAF wished the defenders a speedy recovery and a speedy return to the field. The press service of "Karpaty", where Oleksiy Sych plays, reported that the preliminary diagnosis is damage to the medial collateral ligament. Sych's estimated recovery period is about a month.
Addition
In yesterday's game against Belgium, in which Ukraine won a strong-willed victory (3:1), in the 21st minute, Belgian national team winger Leandro Trossard fell unsuccessfully on the leg of Yukhym Konoplya. Doctors provided the necessary assistance to the Ukrainian defender, but a moment later, after entering the field, Konoplya sat on the lawn due to pain and could not continue the game due to injury. He was replaced by Sych in the 25th minute, who was injured in the 56th minute, and was replaced by Yegor Yarmolyuk in the 60th minute.
It should be noted that Rebrov has no right defenders left, so it is unknown who will play in the position of Sych and Konoplya. Perhaps the coach will call someone up.
Earlier, Maksym Taloverov left the national team's camp, who was injured in the matches for "Plymouth". He was replaced by Oleksandr Svatok. Also, on the eve of the game, Rebrov reported that Ukrainian team forward Artem Dovbyk was diagnosed with an infection. The striker missed the first game against Belgium, and defender Valeriy Bondar was not included in the squad.
The return match against the Belgian national team in the League of Nations play-offs will be held this Sunday, March 23, in Genk, Belgium. The match will start at 21:45 Kyiv time.
