The striker missed a lot of time due to a knee injury
Attack Miner Lassina Traore did not go to the location of the national team Burkina Faso for the match against Cote d’Ivoire. The striker asked the coach of the national team for permission to stay at the location of the club in order to quickly gain optimal form.
“We had a conversation, he explained to me that his club has a lot of late games and that he wants to use these fights to get back into the rhythm of the competition. I fully agreed with him in this opinion,” said the head coach of the Burkina Faso national team, Hubert Velud.
Traore missed most of last season with a knee injury. The forward returned to the general group of Shakhtar in August at the pre-season training camp.
In the new season, the 21-year-old striker has made 14 appearances for the Pitmen in all competitions. Traore scored three goals and provided one assist.
Shakhtar takes second place in the Premier League. In the next match, the team of Igor Jovicevich will play with Zorya on November 13. The match will be served by Katerina Monzul from Kharkiv.
