The footballer, who refused to play in the Ukrainian national team due to injury, came out in the UPL match. The network called an unusual reason

Shakhtar defender Yefim Konoplya, who was excluded from the Ukrainian national team for the match against England by Ruslan Rotan due to an injury, played in the UPL match against Dvizheniya. The 23-year-old footballer came on as a substitute in the second half with the score 2-0 in favor of the Donetsk side.

The day before, blogger and employee of “1 + 1 Media” Igor Tsyganik toldAfter the Feyenoord-Shakhtar match, Konoplya allegedly called Rotan and said that his groin muscles were bothering him (and for a long time), and he wanted to use the pause of the national teams to heal.

The mentor of our national team listened to the request of Cannabis, but today the player took part in the match instead of treatment.

Explaining the situation, Yefim said that he had injuries that needed treatment, but he could not miss the fight.

“This is a long-standing problem that has been bothering me since last year. Today was an important match, so I played on the spot,” Shakhtar’s press service quoted Konoplya as saying.

However, fans on the Internet voiced another reason for the absence of Cannabis in the national team.

Rotan called Denis Popov, who had previously met with Anastasia Gladun, for a game against England, but she quit and went to Konoplya. Denis reacted very violently to such a passage of his partner, advising her to “blow off the whistle”.

Efim and Nastya got married on March 9 last year and the couple had a baby. Fans speculate that Cannabis doesn’t want to cross paths with his wife’s ex-boyfriend and that’s why he withdrew from the Euro 2024 qualifier.

As GLOBAL HAPPENINGS reported, the qualification game for the European Championship 2024 England – Ukraine will be held on March 26 in London at the legendary Wembley. The TV channels that will show the meeting have already become known.
