Sports doctor: “This is very disappointing news for the Ukrainian national team”
sports doctor Dmitry Babelyuk Roma commented on the news about the serious injury of the striker of “Roma” and the Ukrainian national team Artem Dovbik:
“No wonder I was surprised at the 2-week forecast… Dovbik flew for another 2 months. This can still be interpreted as a relapse, since such a period indicates a doubling of the previous recovery. It is highly likely that the tendon will be involved in the injury again.
The club is a club, but this injury raises serious doubts about Artem’s participation in important matches of the national team in the World Cup qualifiers. It’s mid-January. Ideally, Dovbik will recover at least by mid-March. The match with Sweden is already on March 26. Everything becomes very risky and compressed according to the retreat plan, and in order to recover and get fit, Artem will need to accelerate his recovery once again. “This is very disappointing news for both the player and the team.”
