Later Artem Kravets didn’t manage to join Ukraine national team though he was called up by the Yellow-Blues head coach Mykhailo Fomenko.
- After the game against Karpaty I went to the hospital to undergo medical examination. It turned out that no bones were hurt. There also was no concussion. I went to Ukraine camp, talked to Mykhailo Fomenko, but doctors stated that I couldn’t take the field against Luxembourg. Same situations happened before. I was called to the national team, but couldn’t play due to injuries. That’s just a coincidence. Anyway I’ll perform for Ukraine if I demonstrate worthy play in Dynamo. In the episode when I suffered this injury I really wanted to benefit the team.
I guess I would have tried to avoid the clash but for great desire to score. Now I want to get ready for the game against FC Metalurh Zaporizhia and help Dynamo win, - stated Kravets.
The White-Blues doctor Leonid Myronov has also told about the process of Artem’s reconditioning: “Today (November 17) they got stitches out. The swelling has fallen off. On Tuesday the team will have two training sessions and Kravets is likely to start getting ready for the game against FC Metalurh Zaporizhia. He worked individually in the gym, so he has no problems with physical conditions.
