Ukraine have lost star striker Roman Yaremchuk to injury for tomorrow’s Uefa Nations League game against Ireland in Lodz (7.45pm).

The Benfica forward – who scored in the recent World Cup semi-final playoff win over Scotland – has been ruled out with the shin injury that forced him off 20 minutes from the end of Sunday’s 3-0 victory against Armenia.
