Artem Dovbyk Returns to Training Ahead of Crucial Nations League Clash
Ukrainian national team forward Artem Dovbyk has resumed training with the main squad, according to a statement from the Ukrainian Football Association (UAF). The striker missed the first leg of the UEFA Nations League playoff against Belgium due to illness, but his return is a major boost for the team ahead of the decisive second leg.
Ukraine secured a 3-1 victory in the first match, but the absence of Dovbyk was felt. His return to fitness provides Serhiy Rebrov's side with additional firepower as they aim to finish the job in Genk on Sunday, March 23.
However, the team will be without right-backs Oleksandr Sych and Yefim Konoplya, who sustained injuries during the match against Belgium. Both players have left the national team camp and will continue their recovery with their respective clubs.
