Shevchenko was Ukraine's main fitness concern
|
Ukraine coach Oleg Blokhin is confident that star strikers Andriy Shevchenko and Sergei Rebrov will take part in their final World Cup warm-up match.
Chelsea's British record signing Shevchenko is recovering from a knee injury, while Rebrov has a hip problem.
The duo did not play in Monday's 3-0 friendly win over Libya, but may line up against Luxembourg on Thursday.
Blokhin said: "Shevchenko will play against Luxembourg, if all goes well, and I hope Rebrov will be in shape."
Shevchenko hurt a knee playing for AC Milan before his £30.8m record-breaking move to Chelsea.
His injury has provided Blokhin with most cause for concern because the hip problem suffered by former Tottenham and West Ham forward Rebrov is not deemed serious by the team's doctors.
