Acting Head Coach of Dynamo Kiev, Serhiy Rebrov has explained the reason why he omitted Lukman Haruna from the 18 - man squad announced for the fixture against FC Vorskla Poltava.

Remember that the central midfielder had been complaining of his lack of game time under departed manager Oleg Blokhin.

“Haruna asked for some free time from Oleg Blokhin as his girlfriend was giving birth to a child.

“He rejoined the team today (Sunday) , ” Rebrov told the official website of Dynamo Kiev, fcdynamo.kiev.ua.

Speaking on Brown Ideye, who came off the bench to net the equalizer against Vorskla, he stated : “I think Ideye is a high profile striker. Still Yarmolenko also often performs as forward when we use 1-4-5-1 tactical scheme.”

Both Nigeria internationals - Lukman and Ideye - have made 12 starts for Dynamo Kiev in the Premier League between them.
