Head coach Ihor Kostiuk has brought 20‑year‑old defender Denys Dykyi into first‑team training at Dynamo Kyiv during the international break. The club report and interviews say Dykyi is training with the senior squad as preparation continues for the league fixture with Karpaty.
Dykyi made his senior debut in this season’s Ukrainian Cup against Nyva Vinnytsia, has played five matches for Dynamo U‑21 (scoring once) and has previous experience with Ukraine’s U‑19 side. He told reporters the atmosphere in the squad is good, that he is learning from Vladyslav Dubinchak—his immediate positional rival—and that coaches are encouraging him to join attacks, deliver accurate crosses and look for shooting opportunities.
The call‑up is framed as a chance for Dykyi to gain experience training alongside regular first‑team players; the club source for the report is FC Dynamo Kyiv.
