Artem Kravets’s dream to make a national debut will not be fulfilled this Wednesday, Mar 26, when Ukraine face Serbia in an international friendly. In this Sunday’s league game against Kryvbas, the young striker incurred a last-minute injury. The country’s coach Oleksiy Mykhaylychenko has called up another Dynamo forward, Artem Milevskyy, instead.
Oleksandr Shovkovskyy is facing a similar problem. Although Kryvbas strikers posed little trouble for Ukraine’s first choice goalkeeper, it was enough for him to limp off the pitch after the match. The break ought to be of benefit to Shovkovskyy, who has been seeing a lot of psychological pressure over the past weeks.
