25 players participated in the session. After a period of recovery, Denis Popov returned to the main group. At the same time, Serhiy Krivtsov was ruled out due to a hamstring injury. Unfortunately, the experienced defender will not be able to help the blue-and-yellow team in the upcoming matches. Serhiy will remain with the blue-and-yellow until after the match against North Macedonia.

Today's training session was a kind of general rehearsal for tomorrow's match in every sense. Concluding the week-long preparation in Prague, head coach Serhiy Rebrov and his assistants spent most of their time on tactics.

The coach of the blue-and-yellow team conducted final rotations to determine the starting lineup, which will be known to the public tomorrow 75 minutes before the whistle of Slovenian referee Slavko Vinčič.

Until midnight today, Serhiy Rebrov has time to form a match list that includes 23 surnames.

All tickets allowed for sale by UEFA have already found their owners, so tomorrow is expected to be a full house (except for 5,000 seats blocked by UEFA as punishment).

Regardless, Ukrainian players are looking forward to a strong blue-and-yellow fan army that will relentlessly cheer them on towards the opponents' goal in their nominal home match. This unchanging formula of unity and synergy among Ukrainians during national team matches for victory must work flawlessly tomorrow in Prague.
