The Miners are preparing for the UEFA Conference League semi-final game

Shakhtar players, who arrived in the capital of the United Kingdom after a journey of around 19 hours, began preparing for the return leg against Crystal Palace on Tuesday.

On May 5, the team held a training session at the Hayes Lane, the home ground of London-based Bromley FC. The session started with a traditional warm-up, followed by possession work in squares, several drills and a small-sided game on half the pitch.

On Wednesday, Shakhtar will have an open training session at the Selhurst Park, with a pre-match press conference featuring the head coach and a player taking place in the evening.

As a reminder, the return leg of UEFA Conference League semi-final tie between Crystal Palace and Shakhtar will take place at the Selhurst Park in London on Thursday, May 7. It kicks off at 22:00 Kyiv time.
