Due to this weekend's and next week's World Cup qualifying games Dynamo Kyiv are not in action again until Saturday 21 November when the White-Blues meet FC Shakhtar Donetsk in Kyiv. A break for international duty gave Dynamo coaching staff and uncapped players a chance to take a rest and spend time with their families.
Dynamo coach Valeriy Gazzaev, for instance, visited his family in Moscow. Betão travelled to his homeland and devoted these days to his pregnant wife, and his fellow countryman Gérson Magrão decided to visit Milan once again. Perhaps, he really liked this city during Dynamo’s recent trip to the fashion capital for the match against Champions League opponents FC Internazionale.
Meanwhile, Dynamo goalkeeper Oleksandr Shovkovskyy is doing his best to resume training and get back to full fitness as soon as possible. The club’s custodian was sidelined for more than a month with an inflamed oblique muscle, but now is ready to get back to work.
