The Ukrainian Andriy Yarmolenko, West Ham attacker, resumed training with his team last Monday, but he is not yet “ready” to play, affected by the Russian invasion of his country, and will be absent for this Saturday’s game against Liverpool at Anfield, as confirmed by their manager, David Moyes.
“Andriy is already training, but he will not travel to Liverpool with us.o I think you are ready and we want to give you every opportunity to do everything you can for your family and your country“, explained the coach, who stated that his return to competition will be the player’s decision, after the war unleashed in his country by Russia and specifically also in the city where he grew up, Chernihiv, and in Kiev, where he played ten years at Dynamo.

“He is affected by the whole situation. We can only give him our full support. The club will continually ask him if there is anything we can do. It is a difficult situation“, Moyes abounded, who spoke this morning with Yarmolenko for “20 minutes” and who pointed out that the entire team is transmitting “all” its “support” to the footballer and tries to “do everything possible for him and his family”.
