The injury that Ukrainian national team defender Illia Zabarnyi carried with him from Kyiv's Dynamo to England's Bournemouth does not allow us to divide his club season into two equal parts.

It is more accurate to speak of a packed game schedule for the defender at his Ukrainian club and an inevitable adaptation to the powerful realities of English Premier League. It’s very good that the tournament situation of "Vishnevyy" (Cherries), who had already secured their elite status for the 2023/2024 season by the end of the championship, allowed the coach not to hesitate in throwing the debutant into the fires of local battles.

So since his April debut in the EPL, Illia has played five matches for Bournemouth, three of which he completed from start to finish. Considering this, we can hope that next season Zabarnyi will receive much more playing time. The main thing is not to spoil the picture for the young Ukrainian with injuries.
