Recently, blue-and-yellow players were joined by legionnaires from the English Premier League. Oleksandr Zinchenko will be in the national team as a champion of the English first division with Manchester City.

"Thank you for the welcome, I'm very happy to see everyone. All club matters are behind me now, so we need to immediately switch to the national team because we have an incredibly important match against Scotland. So let's forget about the club — all thoughts are for the national team."

"My tribute after winning the English championship? I've said this many times, but I'll repeat it again and again that I'm very proud to be Ukrainian. At that moment, I thought of those people who, unfortunately, have already passed away, and of those who are currently surviving in incredibly difficult conditions. I just wanted to give them a smile for a few seconds from myself," — said Zinchenko upon arrival.

Let us remind you that the match between Scotland and Ukraine in the 1/2 final of the World Cup qualification play-offs will take place on June 1 at Hampden Park Stadium in Glasgow.
