Without Zinchenko, but with a debutant-scorer: the national team of Ukraine named the composition for the June matches

The national team of Ukraine, which lost in the opening match of the Euro 2024 qualifier to the English team (0:2), decided on the list of players who will prepare for a friendly sparring with Germany and qualifying matches with North Macedonia and Malta.

According to the official website of the Ukrainian Football Association (UAF), 27 players were called up for the training camp, and five more players were included in the reserve list. Noteworthy is the debut challenge of one of the best scorers of the UPL this season, Dynamo forward Vladislav Vanat, as well as the return of midfielder Vladislav Kochergin, who became the champion of Poland with Rakow, under the yellow-blue flags. But the injured Zinchenko will not come to the location of the national team.

Here is the full list of players.

Goalkeepers: Georgy Bushchan (Dynamo), Anatoly Trubin (Shakhtar), Andrey Lunin (Real Spain);

Defenders: Nikolay Matvienko, Valery Bondar, Yefim Konoplya (all – Shakhtar), Oleksandr Timchik (Dynamo), Oleksandr Svatok (Dnepr-1), Vitaly Mykolenko (Everton England), Ilya Zabarny (Bournemouth England) ) ), Eduard Sobol (Strasbourg, France), Sergey Krivtsov (Inter Miami, USA);

Midfielders: Taras Stepanenko, Oleksandr Zubkov, Georgy Sudakov (all – Shakhtar), Sergey Sidorchuk, Vitaliy Buyalsky (both – Dynamo), Oleksandr Pikhalyonok (Dnepr-1), Andriy Yarmolenko (Al-Ain UAE), Ruslan Malinovsky (Marseille, France), Viktor Tsygankov (Girona, Spain), Mikhail Mudryk (Chelsea, England), Daniil Ignatenko (Bordeaux, France), Vladislav Kochergin (Rakow, Poland);

The training camp for the yellow-blues will begin on June 8 in Bremen, Germany. In the same place, on the 12th, our guys, who will soon be announced the name of the new national team coach (probably, it will be Sergey Rebrov, whose wife is already openly hinting at this in social networks), will play a control match with the 1000th anniversary Germany duel in the history of the Bundestim. And then the Yellow-Blues will face two official matches as part of the qualification for Euro 2024 – on June 16, our team will play in Skopje with North Macedonia, and on the 19th, in a nominally home game, they will meet in the Slovak Travi with Malta.

Position of the teams in Group C for Euro 2024 Qualifiers: 1. England – 6 points (2 matches); 2. Italy – 3 (2); 3. North Macedonia – 3 (1); 4. Ukraine – 0(1); 5. Malta – 0 (2).
