- In the UPL game against FC Shakhtar Donets my knee got harmed. As a result pain doesn’t let me work they best possible way. When I came to the national team camp I really hoped the pain would be gone, but then realized that the problem still exists. I’ve talked to Ukraine doctor Andriy Shmorhun and head coach Andriy Shevchenko. We’ve decided I won’t manage to get ready for the match against Finland.
I’m very sorry I can’t help the team, but there’s nothing I can do. I’ll be supporting our team wholeheartedly. I believe we’ll succeed!
