The Ukraine national team arrived in Mönchengladbach on Tuesday afternoon and will be staying at the H4 hotel at Borussia-8-Grad. This is in preparation for tomorrow’s friendly between Gladbach and Ukraine at BORUSSIA-PARK (20:45).
Tomorrow’s friendly is of dual importance for the Ukraine national team. It isn’t only their first game since the outbreak of war, but it is also important preparation ahead of their World Cup play-off match against Scotland.

They will be based there until Thursday.
After Oleksandr Petrakov’s official press conference, which is due to take place at 18:30 on Tuesday evening, the team will take part in a training session inside BORUSSIA-PARK.
