After a run and warm-up, the players worked in squares. Immediately after this, they were given the task of mastering ball control. The main part of the training was devoted to working on tactical tasks in game series.

The footballers are gradually acquiring the necessary playing and tactical conditions. It is impossible not to note the atmosphere of elevation and mutual support that prevails during all sessions: boys encourage each other, approvingly responding to successful actions of their teammates on the field.

Today, the same 18 players who were here yesterday participated in the session. Tomorrow at 11 am, 17 of them along with the coaching staff and medical-administrative personnel will fly out on a charter flight from Warsaw to Glasgow. In the capital of Poland, Eugene Volynets will remain (we remind you that Eugene was called up as an additional player after George Bushchan's injury). The newcomer will join the team in Yerevan, before the match against Armenia.

In Glasgow, blue and yellow will settle in the familiar to them Crowne Plaza hotel (here Ukrainians stayed last year before the 1/8 final of Euro-2020, and at the beginning of June this year - before the semifinal of the World Cup qualification playoff). And immediately after lunch, seven foreign-based players will join the team: Ruslan Malinovskiy, Viktor Kovalenko, Vitaly Mykolenko, Roman Yaremchuk, Taras Kachaраба, Andriy Lunin and Danylo Ignatenko.

In the evening, the team will hold a joint training session on the field of Partick Thistle club.
