Today, the blue and yellows held an official pre-match training session on the field of NSC "Olympic". 23 players took part in the lesson.

As expected, Vitaliy Mykolenko, who had a spasm of the pear-shaped muscle, joined the general group. Unfortunately, Yevhen Konoplyanka was not able to work with everyone: in the afternoon, Yevhen's temperature rose and his throat began to ache. The midfielder stayed at the hotel, and after returning from training, the team's doctors will decide on the possibility of his trip with the team to Zaporozhye.

It is already known for sure that Ruslan Malinowski will miss the match with Estonia. He and his wife Roxana are expecting a daughter, so Andriy Shevchenko allowed Ruslana to spend some more time with the future mother. Malinowski will join the team in Belgrade on November 15th.

Meanwhile, after training, the team will return to the Opera Hotel, which was her residence for three days. After a short dinner, the collections will immediately go to Boryspil Airport and fly to Zaporizhia. The flight is expected to last an hour. About the 22nd plane with the main team of the country is to land in the capital of the Cossack region. There, the location of the national team will be the hotel "Glory". From there, the blue-and-yellows will go to a friendly game with the Estonians tomorrow, which will take place at the Slavutych Arena (starting at 19.00 p.m.).
