Ukraine defender Vitaliy Mykolenko will be absent for the Nations League match against Northern Ireland, announced head coach Andrea Maldera during a press conference on Oct. 1. The 27-year-old defender was not ready to return, as the coaching staff opted against risking further injury. Maldera expressed respect for Mykolenko and highlighted concerns about his well-being.
Mykolenko had played the full 90 minutes in Ukraine’s opening match against Hungary but was forced to miss the subsequent game against Georgia due to injury. Ukraine will take on Northern Ireland at Trnava, Slovakia on Oct. 2, with the game set to begin at 9:45 p.m. Kyiv time. Both teams currently have four points each, placing them at the top of League B Group 2, while Hungary and Georgia have earned one point each.
