The autumn chill greeted the blue-and-yellow team at tonight's evening training session, which took place on the same field of FC "Sparta" training center as yesterday.

Wind with rain, temperature not exceeding 15 degrees — such conditions certainly cannot be called comfortable. However, as is known, the game takes place in any weather, and besides, it's rain, not snow, and the temperature is above zero, so there were no complaints about the weather conditions from the players.

23 players arrived at Strahov Stadium, including those who joined the national team today — Krivtsov, Zinchenko, Mykhailichenko and Pihalonyk (Svatok and Riznyk will join the camp of the national team tomorrow). Denis Popov continues his individual rehabilitation period.

After a general run and warm-up, most of the players moved on to the main part of training. Meanwhile, some players who recently had intense matches for their clubs or long travels — Alexander Zinchenko, Sergiy Krivtsov, Illia Zabarny, Vitaliy Mykolenko, and Serhiy Sydorchuk — limited themselves to running work today.

At the same time, most of the team under the direct leadership of head coach Serhiy Rebrov conducted an intensive training session that included game series, tactical ball possession, passing stations, and shooting.
