Ukraine players are impressed with their fans ahead of Nigeria friendly – Yarmolenko

Ukraine winger Andriy Yarmolenko has stated his side will go all out against Nigeria when they meet in an international friendly on Tuesday.

Andriy Shevchenko’s men defeated Lithuania 3-0 in Saturday’s European Championship qualifying game at LFF Stadium, Vilnius.

The West Ham United forward, who is banking on the support of their fans, is hoping his side can maintain their performances when they slug it out with the three-time Africa champions in Dnipro.

“Before the match [vs Lithuania], when we were going to the stadium, we saw how many of our fans were on the streets,” Yarmolenko told the FFU website.
