— What is the team's current roster before the game?

— Unfortunately, Malynovskyi will not be able to participate in the match due to having three yellow cards. Denys Popov has recovered and started training with the main group. All players are recovering and ready for the match.

— In the previous game against Malta, it was difficult, we won 1-0. What can we expect from the Maltese team tomorrow? Could the home advantage make the match more open?

— I believe that the Maltese team played openly in the first game and tried to create opportunities, they had enough of them in the first half. We need to be very focused — this is an important game. As important as the one against North Macedonia. I am sure all players understand how difficult the match will be. It will be challenging, just like it was against Slovakia. Therefore, we are preparing very seriously.

— How did Nazariy Rusyn perform this week? Can we expect him to make the squad?

— We will see today as there is still training. But I am grateful to Nazariy — he is a professional, works hard without any questions. The call-up for the national team is a great honor for him. He trains with all the boys and has a chance to be in the squad tomorrow.

Reminder: The UEFA Euro 2024 qualifier match between Malta and Ukraine will take place on October 17th in Ta' Qali (kick-off at 9:45 PM Kyiv time).
