Ukraine will be looking to make it four wins in a row in Group 1 of League B when they resume their 2024-25 UEFA Nations League campaign against the Czech Republic on Monday evening.
The Blue and Yellows were fresh off a 1-0 win over Georgia on Friday, while the Czech Republic come into this game off the back of a 2-0 win over Albania that saw them finish second in their group.
Latest Ukraine vs Czech team information
There will be no surprises in Ukraine's line-up for this match, with Artem Dovbyk expected to continue leading the line, while the 27-year-old striker is looking to add to his international tally of 10.
Mudryk scored the winner in the last game against Georgia, and the Chelsea attacker will continue to be in the starting line-up, while Heorhiy Sudakov will take the No.10 position in Rebrov's system.
Bournemouth's Illya Zabarnyi will also be among the starters for Ukraine, but Roman Yaremchuk may have to settle for a place on the bench for this Nations League clash.
As for the Czech Republic, coach Hasek did not report any injury issues from the match against Albania, so it would be no surprise if the starting lineup was the same as the previous match.
Chory scored twice against Albania and will surely continue to feature in the opposition box, while Vaclav Cerny will also be in the supporting line-up against Ukraine.
West Ham United pair Vladimir Coufal and Tomas Soucek will also be available, but Patrik Schick, who has scored 20 goals in 42 international appearances, will be a regrettable absentee from the Czech Republic squad.
