Ukraine call up uncapped keepers for Euros

Coach Oleh Blokhin is without experienced goalkeepers Olexandr Shovkovskiy and Andriy Dykana, who are unavailable due to injury, while Oleksandr Rybka has been suspended for using a banned diuretic.

Shakhtar Donetsk's Andriy Pyatov, who has made 24 appearances for Ukraine, is now considered the squad's first-choice keeper, while 36-year-old Oleksandr Goryainov has one cap to his name which was achieved in 2010.
