Slovakia v Ukraine team news: Lunin benched, Sudakov starts

It’s another day of three European Championship matches and this one begins with team news from the Group E clash between Slovakia and Ukraine. It kicks off at 14:00 BST in Dusseldorf.

Both had unexpected Matchday 1 results that made an already tight-looking group even more unpredictable.

Ukraine have made four changes from their 3-0 defeat to Romania. Goalkeeper Andriy Lunin (€4.5m) was questionable for at least one goal and now makes way for Anatoliy Trubin (€5.0m), with a right-back switch bringing in Oleksandr Tymchyk (€4.5m) for Yukhym Konoplia (€4.5m).

Additionally, Volodymyr Brazhko (€5.5m) and Andriy Yarmolenko (€6.0m) replace Taras Stepanenko (€5.5m) and Viktor Tsygankov (€6.0m).

That means Arsenal’s Oleksandr Zinchenko (€5.5m) still starts at left-back and young talent Georgiy Sudakov (€6.5m) keeps his place.

Meanwhile, Slovakia are unsurprisingly unchanged from the shock 1-0 victory over Belgium.

Ivan Schranz (€5.5m) grabbed the only goal and clean sheet success came for goalkeeper Martin Dubravka (€4.5m) and defender Milan Skriniar (€5.0m).

MATCHDAY 2 TEAM NEWS

Slovakia XI – Dubravka; Pekarík, Vavro, Skriniar, Hancko; Kucka, Lobotka, Duda; Schranz, Bozeník, Haraslin

Ukraine XI – Trubin; Tymchyk, Zabarnyi, Matvienko, Zinchenko; Shaparenko, Brazhko; Yarmolenko, Sudakov, Mudryk; Dovbyk

    Mudryk showing why Chelsea bought him for so much money.

    If that shot went any higher it would have ended up in the river in Dusseldorf.

      That shot single-handedly sparked a heated "who is the biggest flop transfer ever" convo in my footy group chat

    With Mbappe reported to be benched tonight, does that increase his chances of playing in MD3?

    1. F4L

      imo yes because they'll want him to have a chance to get used to playing with a mask before the big KO games

        If France win and Poland don't, then France top group. So chances of him playing MD3 become 0%.

      I wouldn't bother with him until KO stages tbh.
      Even when fully fit, it's still tough to score against the Netherlands, and hardly anyone goes nuts in MD3.

    On my WC, I had Kane and Schick in most drafts. Ended up with Vlahovic and Dovbyk to finish.

    Is it not a little strange that Slovakia and Ukraine have a full 30 hours of extra recovery time before their games against Belgium and Romania? Seems quite excessive in a tournament setting.

    Fcking horrible GKing imo.

    Not only doesn't he go out and press the attacker, he gets afraid of the ball and turns away -_-.
