Ukraine's national team lost another key player before the Nations League matches media

Ukraine's main left-back back Vitalii Mykolenko will not help the team in the October Nations League matches against Georgia (11.10) and the Czech Republic (14.10). A recent medical examination revealed a calf muscle injury, which put him out of action for three weeks.

This was reported by the TaToTake project. Mykolenko became the fourth legionnaire after Oleksandr Zinchenko, Ruslan Malinowskyi, and Viktor Tsyhankov who will not be able to play for the Blue and Yellows. It is worth noting that the English Everton, whose colors Vitalii represents, did not report anything about the left back's problems.

In addition, one of the team's captains, Taras Stepanenko, who was injured in the Champions League match between Shakhtar and Atalanta, is also in doubt for the games against Euro 2024 participants.
