Serhiy Rebrov has selected his starting lineup for Ukraine's friendly match against Canada in the Canadian Shield tournament in Toronto. The Ukrainian manager has opted for a strong eleven featuring Anatoliy Trubin in goal and attacking talents Viktor Tsyhankov and Roman Yaremchuk leading the forward line.
"We've prepared well for this match and I've selected players who I believe can implement our tactical plan effectively," Rebrov might say before kickoff.
The defensive line will feature Tymchyk and Bondar, while Mykola Shaparenko will control the midfield alongside Oleksandr Zinchenko and Volodymyr Kalyuzhnyi. Mykhailo Mudryk is notably absent from the starting eleven, with Georgiy Sudakov completing the attacking trio.
For the home side, Canada's lineup includes goalkeeper Crepeau, with Buchanan and Eustáquio featuring in midfield. The Canadian attack will be led by Jonathan David and Patrick David.
Interestingly, Ukraine's bench hasn't been detailed in the pre-match information, while Canada has prepared numerous substitution options including Saint-Clair, Adekugbe, and Koné.
This friendly match serves as valuable preparation for both national teams. Will Ukraine's technical midfield overcome Canada's home advantage? The matchup between Zabarnyi in Ukraine's defense against Jonathan David's attacking threat could be particularly fascinating to watch.
