Andriievskyi to return for Polissya against Dynamo Kyiv on October 18 AI

Polissya midfielder Oleksandr Andriievskyi should be available for the Ukrainian Premier League meeting with Dynamo Kyiv on 18 October. Coach Ruslan Rotan said the 32-year-old has resumed light jogging after an appendectomy and missed recent national-team duty due to illness. Kyiv fans: the Zhytomyr side may regain a key midfielder for the October 18 fixture — a tactical detail Dynamo supporters and matchgoers should note.

Polissya Zhytomyr expect to have midfielder Oleksandr Andriievskyi back in the squad for their Premier League match against Dynamo Kyiv on 18 October. Head coach Ruslan Rotan confirmed Andriievskyi did not join the national team because of illness and is progressing through post‑surgery recovery.

Rotan said Andriievskyi recently underwent an appendectomy, has begun light runs, and is unlikely to play in the nearer match against Bukovyna but should be ready for the Dynamo game. This season the 32‑year‑old has featured in eight matches across competitions, scoring once and providing one assist.

Polissya lead the championship with 18 points; Andriievskyi’s return would strengthen their midfield ahead of the trip to face Kyiv’s club. Readers should check matchday lineups for confirmation.
