Vitalii Mykolenko has left the Ukraine national team training camp due to an injury.
Mykolenko had suffered an injury in the final pre-season game against AS Roma but made his return to the pitch against Mansfield Town in the Carabao Cup before facing Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League.
“After an MRI, the Everton player was found to have an injury sustained in matches for the club. Because of this, Mykolenko will not be able to play in the September 2026 World Cup qualification matches against France and Azerbaijan. Serhiy Rebrov's coaching staff has called up Vladyslav Dubinchak for these matches,” read a statement from the Ukrainian Association of Football.
The 26-year-old was pictured leaving the training camp and is likely to return to England.
In his absence, David Moyes had to play James Garner at left-back against Leeds United and Brighton. Adam Aznou, who was signed from Bayern Munich as an understudy to Mykolenko this summer, was also suffering from an ankle injury. He returned to action for Everton's developmental side on Tuesday.

He should never have gone. Only been back a few games.
