Ukranian midfielder Oleksandr Zinchenko commented on his absence from the national team and the timing of a possible return.

"First of all, it hurts a lot that I'm not with the national team now. Unfortunately, this is not the first time that I can't help Ukraine due to an injury. But such is life of a football player.

As for my current condition, it has improved, but the injury still does not allow me to go out on the pitch. I hope that next week I will be able to start training,"said Zinchenko to Megogo.
