Ukraine reported three more positive tests from players after the international match against Germany. This brought the number of Ukrainian players testing positive for coronavirus to six.

As the National Association of Ukraine announced on Tuesday (November 17, 2020), the evaluation of PCR tests led to four additional positive results in Ukraine. Three players tested positive for coronavirus, plus a physiotherapy coach. Two of the positive tested players were used in the Nations League match against the DFB-Elf.

Six Ukrainian players with a positive crown test

The total number of successful Ukrainian players has risen to six. Already on Monday, the association reported that two players used in the match against Germany and another player from Eastern Europe had tested positive for the coronavirus. Andrej’s team has been cleared to join the European football union and the Lucerne authorities. Shevchenko will continue to prepare for the Nations League match in Switzerland on Tuesday. The team received the green light for Monday’s training from local Lucerne authorities and Nations League officials.

It is still unclear if the game will actually start. Yevgeni Makarenko and Eduard Sobol, who played 3-1 against the DFB on Saturday, as well as Dimitri Risnyk tested positive and were replaced by players from the U21 squad. Before Monday’s final training, PCR smears were organized for the entire team.

Three substitutes flew

The results are decisive for the staging of the match. Even before the match against Germany, four players and the Ukrainian manager tested positive for the coronavirus after arriving in Leipzig on Friday.

“We respect the rules that apply here,” Shevchenko said during a press conference in the evening, there was no panic among his team: “We are waiting for the results of another series of tests. If we have enough players, we will play “. For the successful trio, the Ukrainian federation immediately flew with three substitutes from the junior division from Kiev to Zurich.
