Important news coming from Ukraine. Due to the recent contrast between the national team coach Hennady Lyssenchuk and the main Ukrainian club Shakhtar Donetsk (started since the University World Championship), Ukraine will travel to Ostrava without the "oldest" Shakhtar talents (referring to the players older than 30), which formed the great percentage of the team. As a result of this, Ukraine is training with an almost completely new and young team (19 players who attended the friendly matches in Russia against Spartak Shelkovo and CSKA, we'll have a report soon on these matches).

According to our information in the team will be back Alexei Kudlay (Dinamo Moscow), while Koridze will be the captain of the team. Lyssenchuk will stage a training camp in Lviv (West Ukraine) before leaving for Poland (friendly matches in Krakow) and then finally to Ostrava.

It seems that Shakhtar will not leave their players attending the national team matches until Lyssenchuk doesn't leave his charge.
