Olexander Yatsenko is to replace Serhiy Federov

May 30th, 2006 | By: Andriy Korol | 2 Comments »

FC Kharkiv defender Olexander Yatsenko has been called up to the Ukraine national team to replace the injured Serhiy Federov.

A product of the FC Dynamo Kyiv academy, Yatsenko played a key role in the Ukraine’s progress to the UEFA European Under-21 Championship finals. Yatsenko is the captain of team Ukraine U-21. He marshals his team-mates from the heart of defence where he has shown great promise this season while on loan at FC Arsenal Kharkiv, impressing enough to make his senior international debut in a 1-0 victory against Japan in October 2005. That honour completed the set for Yatsenko, who was part of the Ukraine team that reached the semi-finals of the 2004 UEFA European Under-19 Championship, and also shone at the FIFA World Youth Championship in the Netherlands the following season.

Yatsenko is taking his team Ukraine U-21 to the Semi Finals on June 1st. This is a fantastic replacement of Fedorov.
