Ukraine face goalkeeper crisis ahead of Euro 2012

-

Euro 2012 co-hosts Ukraine may find themselves in real trouble if their number one keeper Aleksandr Shovkovsky’s injury proves to be serious.
Shovkovsky damaged his shoulder in Dynamo Kiev’s against Volyn in the Ukrainian league and may well be out of the European Championships, which kick off on June 8.

“It’s serious,” Yury Semin, Dynamo’s coach, said of his man’s injury.
Shovkovsky is to go to Germany for a medical examination, but according to the Kiev team’s goalkeeper trainer, Mikhail Mikhailov, the 37-year-old is sure to miss at least three weeks.
The veteran goalie has played 90 games for his country, conceding 73 goals. Shovkovsky was in goal when Ukraine reached the quarterfinals of the FIFA World Cup in 2006.
The Ukrainians have lost two of their other first-choice keepers since the start of the year, with Shakhtar’s Aleksandr Rybka getting a two-year ban for doping and Andrey Dikan suffering a serious facial injury keeping goal for Spartak Moscow in the Russian Premier League.
Ukraine, who co-host Euro 2012 together with neighbors Poland, have been drawn against Sweden, France and England in the tournament’s group stages.
