Getting prepared for Dynamo

The team conducted a theory session. After the match vs Inter, the players split into two groups. Those who played against the Italian champions have practised squares and recovery procedures, while the rest of players had a warm-up, passing & trapping exercises, as well as a small-sded game within a 70-metre-long section the field against the Academy boys – two halves of 20 minutes each. In total, the session lasted an hour.

Junior Moraes watched the training session as an onlooker after flying back to Kyiv. In recent months, the Shakhtar forward has been recovering from an injury.

“I am here, in Ukraine, again. I’m really happy and motivated,” said Junior. “The injury and recovery is a tough time, with many days of intensive care, rehabilitation, and work. Thank God I'm coming back. There’s not much time left until the moment when I can take to the football field. I missed you very much!”
