The next morning after the match against England, Ukraine's national team followed their usual schedule: breakfast at 9:30 AM and departure for training at 10:45 AM, which was to be the final session of this camp.

On the already familiar "Fair Play-Arena" pitch, blue-and-yellow players were divided by the coaching staff into two groups. Players who played more than half a game yesterday performed recovery exercises; those who wished could run around the field. The main task for Saturday's match participants was to recover after an exhausting game. Among them was Mykola Matviyenko, who was substituted during halftime yesterday. The defender feels fine and trains with the team. However, Oleksandr Timchik left the camp this morning as he is not ready for the upcoming match against Italy; thus, he will continue his rehabilitation at his club.

The rest of the team initially worked with fitness coach Vitaliy Kulybo, performing acceleration and ball control exercises. Afterward, under the main coach's supervision, players trained in a square, completed tasks within game sequences, and competed at stations. This element of training for speed, agility, and coordination ended with two goal attempts; the coach kept score, making the competitive aspect noticeable.

After the training session, blue-and-yellow players will have lunch at the hotel and then leave their accommodation in Tchebice, which has been their home for eight days. The welcoming staff did everything to ensure that Ukrainians felt comfortable and had no need for anything.

The charter flight from Wroclaw to Milan is scheduled for the afternoon, and in two hours, blue-and-yellow players will land in Lombardy's capital. Today's program includes completing recovery processes, while tomorrow they will have a pre-match training session: the Euro 2024 qualification game schedule leaves no time for rest.

The national team will start their new working week with an official evening session at San Siro Stadium starting at 7 PM CET. Half an hour before this, head coach Serhiy Rebrov and one of the players will meet the media in a conference room at the arena.
