Artem Dovbyk could anticipate return from international duty for precaution

Artem Dovbyk could anticipate his return to the Italian capital following an unsuccessful start to the international break with Ukraine.

The Ukrainian striker arrived only yesterday at the national team’s retreat in Turkey and did not take part in the training session.

Dovbyk remains in doubt ahead of the two matches with the Ukrainian national team against Georgia and Albania, even though the MRI on his knee gave a negative result.

Dovbyk will be assessed in the next few hours by the medical staff of Ukraine who, in agreement with the doctors of Roma, will decide whether to keep him in retreat or send him back to Italy tomorrow, writes La Gazzetta dello Sport.
