JAKARTA - Ukrainian footballers will return to training ahead of the resumption of the country's league. This will be the first time since Russia invaded in February.
Quoted from The Sun, Tuesday, the Ukrainian Premier League will resume on August 23 on a pitch with tight protection from air strikes.
The resumption of the Ukrainian league will see last season's champions Shakhtar Donetsk take on Metalist Kyiv at Kiev's Olympic Stadium. Although it will be held in a stadium with a capacity of 70 thousand spectators, the match will be held behind closed doors.
The news of the return of football in Ukraine was well received by Oleksandr Zinchenko. The player who is now in Arsenal's uniform is also happy.
Meanwhile, for Shakhtar's Mykhaylo Mudryk, the return of the league in Ukraine could be a reminder to the world that "Ukraine exists".
Indeed, the Ukrainian Premier League will be held again after the winter break in February. However, this failed to materialize due to the Russian invasion of the Ukrainian capital on the orders of Vladimir Putin.
