Published: May 30, 2019Real Madrid's Ukrainian goalkeeper, Andriy Lunin is wary of the threat the Flying Eagles will pose when both teams face off at the Bielsko-Biala Stadium, Bielsko-Biała on Thursday evening.
The Ukrainians are already through to the last sixteen after beating the United States and Qatar but Nigeria must avoid defeat in today's clash to stand a chance of progressing to the next round.
Speaking to FIFA.com, Lunin stated : ''We’re playing every three days here and we need to recover physically for the next match against Nigeria.
''The Nigeria players are fast and determined and they’ve got a lot of skill too. We want first place, though.
''We want to make the quarter-finals for the first time in our history,but for now we’re just focusing on our third match against Nigeria''.
