National team of Ukraine held an open training in Kiev at the Olympic NSC
Andriy Shevchenko's wards in the eyes of the fans were preparing for the upcoming League of Nations match against Slovakia.
After long travels, the Ukrainian national team returned to Kyiv. In the capital, footballers spend the first days of the November training camp, so on Tuesday, local fans had the opportunity to watch their idols live.
Recall that collections gathered yesterday - Andriy Shevchenko called up a team of 24 football players. There could be more players, however, as the team's doctor Artur Glushchenko stated, Bohdan Butko suffered an ankle injury the day before. However, several newcomers were involved in the team - Vitaliy Mykolenko, Maryana Shveda and Andriy Boryachuk.

Yesterday, the players conducted training in lightweight mode, and at the end of the day they were expected to have a pleasant surprise. On a solemn dinner in connection with the victory of the blue and yellows in the group of the League of Nations visited the legendary Italian player Paolo Maldini.
Today is the day before the open training at the press conference Andrey Shevchenko spoke, after which the players talked to reporters in the mixed zone. Here our players also had a surprise: the sponsor of the national team gave them a brand new table for tennis. Those who wanted to try it were found immediately - Yevhen Konoplyanka and Oleksandr Karavayev competed against Oleksandr Zinchenko and Ruslan Malinovsky.
