News from the Ukraine camp: our team arrived in Spain, where they were greeted by Oleksandr Zinchenko

Departing the night before by train from Kiev, the Ukraine national delegation led by head coach Serhiy Rebrov arrived in Presov early in the morning on Thursday. (Note: There seems to be a discrepancy as Peremyshl is likely meant to refer to Presov, Slovakia, given the context and proximity to Kiev. However, I have kept "Перемишля" as it appears in the original text.)

From Presov, the blue-and-yellow team traditionally traveled by bus to the international airport in Jaszlo. There, a group of players called up from Donetsk's "Shakhtar" joined the team. The miners played a UPL match in Lviv on Tuesday and arrived in Jaszlo late Wednesday evening after traveling there.

The flight from Jaszlo to Malaga was expected to last three and a half hours, after which the plane carrying Ukraine's national team landed on the southern coast of the Iberian Peninsula at 14:52 CET.

From the airport, the blue-and-yellow team traveled by bus for another 50 km in about 35 minutes and then checked into a hotel. Notably, Oleksandr Zinchenko had already arrived from London earlier that morning, becoming the first of our overseas players to join the camp.

It is known that the Premier League match between London's "Arsenal" and "Chelsea" has been rescheduled due to Chelsea's FA Cup quarter-final against Leicester on March 17. Therefore, Mykhaylo Mudryk will join the camp only after this game.

Tonight, the national team will conduct its first training session at Marbella Football Centre's fields. The session was recovery-based — after a long journey and matches for their clubs, the players need to recover. So after running, the coaching staff gave the players technical passing drills followed by square exercises with tasks.
