Ukraine’s national team has been forced into a late squad change

Ukraine’s national team has been forced into a late squad change ahead of their opening 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifier against France.

Everton left-back Vitaliy Mykolenko has withdrawn from the squad due to injury. The 25-year-old sustained a knock during club duty with the Toffees and underwent an MRI scan, which confirmed the issue. As a result, he will miss both upcoming qualifiers.

Mykolenko has been replaced by Vladyslav Dubinchak, a defender from Dynamo Kyiv, according to the official announcement by the UAF (Ukrainian Football Association).
