Two key players from Dynamo Kyiv's central lineup, Denys Popov and Volodymyr Brazhko, will not participate in the 7th round match of the Europa League against Turkish side Galatasaray. This was announced by Dynamo's head coach, Oleksandr Shovkovskyi, during the pre-match press conference.

Brazhko, who was named Dynamo's Player of the Year, is still recovering from an ankle injury sustained in December. Central defender Denys Popov has also not yet fully recovered. Meanwhile, the rest of the Dynamo squad is preparing for tomorrow's game against the Turkish team as planned.

Dynamo Kyiv currently has 0 points after six rounds, with a goal difference of 1-15. Last week, Dynamo's president, Ihor Surkis, set a clear objective for the team ahead of the Galatasaray match: "To show that Dynamo is still alive."
