Ukrainian goalkeeper knocked out in the Champions League match: another player hit him with a knee to the head

Ukrainian goalkeeper of Dnipro-1 Yevhen Volynets was seriously injured in the return match of the 2nd qualifying round of the Champions League against Greek Panathinaikos. The moment happened in the first half.

In the 33rd minute, the guests' forward Sebastian Palacios hit the 29-year-old goalkeeper in the head with his knee.

The Dynamo pupil, for whom this game was the debut in the Dnipro team, was unable to get up and leave the field on his own. The medics had to carry the injured on a stretcher and then urgently hospitalize him.

From the 33rd minute the goal of Dnipro-1 was defended by Yakov Kinareikin instead of Volynets.

As OBOZREVATEL reported, in late May, Volynets, playing for Kolos, made history. In the match of the 28th round of the UPL against Dynamo, Yevhen became the first goalkeeper who managed to hit his goal three times in the Ukrainian championship.
