Ukraine will be without several key players for their World Cup playoff semifinal against Sweden in Valencia next Thursday. Oleksandr Zinchenko, Artem Dovbyk, and Mykola Matvijenko are all reportedly injured and not in the squad. Ruslan Malinovskyi and Yevhen Konoplya are suspended but included for a potential playoff final.
Ukraine's coach Serhii Rebrov announced the squad on Monday, while Sweden's coach Graham Potter will present his squad on Wednesday. The winner of the semifinal will face either Poland or Albania in the playoff final on March 31.
