The Dinamo Kiev attacker has yet to undergo an MRI scan. Then there will be more clarity. The European Championship is over anyway, reports the Ukrainian Football Association. Besedin has left the squad.

Besedin came on the field in the first overtime yesterday. A few minutes later he had to be replaced again after Danielson’s heavy tackle, who kicked the ball away, but afterwards also hit Besedin’s knee. After the intervention of the video ref, the Italian referee Daniele Orsato drew a resolute red.

A decision that Gary Lineker, ex-striker and presenter at the BBC, among others, cannot understand. “This is not red. He can kick that ball away,” he tweeted. “Slow motion footage makes that tackle look worse than it is. unbelievable. When you kick a ball, it’s almost impossible to retract your leg.”
