In the last few hours, news emerged that Georgiy Sudakov had been released from the national team. As it became known, the number 10 of Benfica returned to Portugal earlier due to a muscle problem. Besides missing the match against France, the doctor did not hide his frustration due to yet another injury.

After his withdrawal from the national team, due to muscle overload, the Ukrainian international took to social media to share his current state of mind with the fans. "It's frustrating, but it's part of it", wrote Georgiy Sudakov on his Telegram page.

In the same post, the Ukrainian international, who is on his way to Lisbon to continue treatment, left a message of encouragement to the fans and teammates: "I'm working to come back even stronger. I support our guys and believe in our victory".

It should be noted that, despite the heavy defeat against the French team, by four goals to zero, Ukraine continues to dream of a place in the World Cup. Currently with seven points, the Ukrainians, who have Anatoliy Trubin, will try to reach the playoffs, but for that, they will have to beat their direct rival, Iceland.

As for Benfica, the eagles have already returned to training after the draw with Casa Pia, however, the return to competition will only happen on November 21, with a trip to Atlético CP's ground, a match counting for the fourth round of the Portuguese Cup.
