The Ukrainian national team, preparing for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers against France (November 13) and Iceland (November 16), has made two forced substitutions.

In place of Volodymyr Brazyk, midfielder Yegor Nazarina from Shakhtar Donetsk has been called up, while Taras Mykhalko from Dynamo Kyiv will replace Arseniy Batagov. The reason is injuries to the players.
