"There are no irreplaceable ones". Khatskevych explains Rebrov's decision on the Ukrainian national team

Former Dynamo coach Oleksandr Khatskevych is sure that the head coach of the Ukrainian national football team Serhii Rebrov called up Vladyslav Kabaiev to keep Mykhailo Mudryk from relaxing. According to the Belarusian specialist, the attacking midfielder has rightly earned the call-up with his consistent play for Dynamo Kyiv.

"Kabaiev was called up to compete with Mudryk so that Mykhailo would realize that there are no irreplaceable ones. Now let Mudryk or Serhii Stanislavovych [Rebrov] think about who should play in the Nations League, "Sport Express quoted Khatskevych as saying.

As reported by OBOZ.UA, on August 27, Rebrov decided on the expanded team for the opening matches of the Nations League against Georgia (September 7) and the Czech Republic (September 10). The main list included 26 players, among whom there was no one of the captains of Dynamo Kyiv Vitalii Buialskyi.

The Nations League will be one of the qualifying stages for the 2026 World Cup. Winning the group guarantees the Ukrainian national team promotion to League A for the upcoming tournament.

As reported by OBOZ.UA, Serhii Rebrov spoke frankly about what the players of the Ukrainian national team were doing in the locker room after the defeat by Romania at Euro 2024.
