Ukrainian Federation To Hammer Dnipro Over MICHAEL ODIBE, Others
Coach Juande Ramos selection error could land Ukrainian Premier League club Dnipro Dnipropetrov in hot water.<br /><br />In the 12th round of matches decided on Saturday evening against Lucky Idahor's Zorya, which ended 3-2 in favor of the home team, the Spanish coach had started the match with four Ukrainian Nationals on the pitch.<br /><br />Ramos was forced to make a substitution in the 38th minute of the encounter at the Stadion Avanhard (Lugansk), replacing Ukrainian player Oliynyk for the Georgian international Jaba Kankava.<br /><br />And this meant Dnipro had eight foreign players, including the Nigerian central defender Michael Odibe on the pitch, an infraction of the rules which stipulates a maximum of seven foreign players.<br /><br />The Ukrainian Federation will decide in the coming days the club's punishment. It is likely Dnipro would forfeit three points and the scoreline adjusted to a 3 - 0 victory in favor of Zorya.<br /><br /><i>Photo Credit: Official website Dnipro</i><br />
