Ukraine will be led at Euro 2020 by Manchester City defender Oleksandr Zinchenko and Italy’s Atalanta midfielder Ruslan Malinovskyi, coach Andriy Shevchenko said naming his 26-man squad on Tuesday.
Zinchenko, who plays as a midfielder in the national team, cut a distraught figure after the Premier League champion’s 1-0 loss to Chelsea in Saturday’s Champions League final in Porto.
The 24-year-old, along with Malinovskyi, is a key figure in the formation of Shevchenko’s team ahead of the competition, which was delayed from last year.
