The head coach of the Ukrainian national team held a press conference before the Nations League game.
Andrey Yarmolenko remains a player of the Ukrainian national team. The head coach of the team, Sergei Rebrov, assured this.
According to him, he did not call the Dynamo winger for the October matches in the Nations League because he wanted to test other UPL players in action.
“Andrey did not get into the national team, because today, in my opinion, there is a lot of competition with players from the national championship. In general, we look at the League of Nations as a tournament where we can look at candidates for the national team.
Yes, I talked to Andrey. I explained. I do not know where the information came from, that I did not talk to him and did not explain to him.
I believe he is a national team player. I spoke to Andrei and explained my position. I believe that it is very important for us to give a chance to candidates who prove themselves in the national championship,” said the coach in a press conference.
We remind you that Ukraine will play with Georgia in the third round of the Nations League. This meeting will take place on Friday, October 11, at 21.45 Kyiv time.
