Due to injury, the midfielder was not included in the national team’s squad for the March games.
Head coach Ukrainian national team Sergey Rebrov upset by the absence of two experienced players in the national team – Andrey Yarmolenko And Taras Stepanenkowho are currently recovering from injuries.
“It’s a pity that Andrey [Ярмоленко] I didn’t have time to recover. He really wanted to help the national team and Dynamo, but, unfortunately, now he is not in optimal condition. I wish him a speedy recovery.”
“I spoke with Taras Stepanenko. I wish him a speedy recovery. Perhaps we’ll challenge him for the second match. But everything depends on the dynamics of his recovery.”
“Vladimir Brazhko deserves this challenge with his play for Dynamo, where he has constant practice. Time moves forward, we need to attract young players to the national team.”
“This is a challenge for both Brazhko and the youth football players: they must see that we are watching and will continue to call youth team players to work with the first team.”
In October last year, Yarmolenko underwent knee surgery. He was operated on in Barcelona, and has now started working in the general Dynamo group.
Stepanenko missed part of the winter training camp, played against Marseille in the Europa League and Alexandria in the UPL – and was injured again. In the Premier League match with Krivbass, the midfielder did not take the field.
Today the application of the Ukrainian national team for the March playoff matches of the selection for the European Championship 2024 was published. In total, blue-yellow coach Sergei Rebrov called up 26 players.
Let us remind you that Ukraine will compete with Bosnia and Herzegovina in the semi-finals of the European Championship qualifying playoffs. The away match for the blue-yellows will take place on March 21 in the city of Zenica at the Bilino Pole stadium. Starts at 20:45 local time (21:45 Kyiv time).
If successful, Sergei Rebrov’s team will meet with the winner of the Israel-Iceland confrontation. The final match will be a “home” match for the blue-yellows and will take place on March 26 in Wroclaw, Poland.
Euro 2024 will take place in Germany from June 14 to July 14, 2024. The matches of the European Championship will be held in arenas in Berlin, Cologne, Dortmund, Dusseldorf, Frankfurt, Gelsenkirchen, Hamburg, Leipzig, Munich and Stuttgart.
