Mykolenko has had an MRI scan and he will have another MRI scan tomorrow. But apparently his injury doesn't appear as serious as initially feared. Hopefully he does play a part for Ukraine at Euro 2024.

Lewandowski's absence will be a very big blow, hopefully he is able to return for the 2nd and 3rd group matches.

Portugal are leading Ireland 3-0 in a friendly being played on their home soil. Joao Felix opened the scoring in the 1st half to give Portugal the lead. Then in the 2nd half, the veteran Cristiano Ronaldo scored 2 goals to make it 3-0 to Portugal. Portugal 3-0 Ireland

In the end, Ukraine thrash Moldova 4-0 away from home, in what was a dominant and impressive performance by Ukraine. They will be happy in the manner in which they dominated this Moldovan side, a Moldovan side who only a few days ago beat Cyprus 3-2. Rebrov will be concerned however that Mykolenko got injured again, potentially ruling him out of Euro 2024. Moldova 0-4 Ukraine

Sudakov scores a 4th goal for Ukraine! Sudakov ran goal-wards with the ball, he played a lovely one-two pass with Dovbyk and then Sudakov shot towards the far post where he found the net and left the keeper with no chance. That was a lovely goal by Sudakov! Moldova 0-4 Ukraine

Mudryk darts into the penalty area from the left flank and has a powerful shot blocked excellently by the keeper Railean, the rebound found it's way to Konoplia who volleyed the ball beautifully goalwards and forced another block by the keeper Railean. That was a great double save by Railean to prevent Ukraine from adding another goal.

Dovbyk who only just came on for Yaremchuk in the 2nd half, scores for Ukraine to make it 3-0! Sudakov found Dovbyk in the area with a lovely pass and Dovbyk smashed the ball into the net at the near post, as he left the Moldovan keeper Railean with no chance. Moldova 0-3 Ukraine

Ukraine lead by 2 goals to nil at half-time, both Yaremchuk's and Tsyhankov's goals were well taken strikes. But the only real sour note in the first-half, was that Mykolenko had to go off injured. He has only recently returned from injury and it looks like he has reaggravated his old injury, as he had to hobble off the field. He looked distraught after he fell to the ground injured. Moldova 0-2 Ukraine

Ukraine score a 2nd goal through Tsyhankov! Tsyhankov was put through by Sudakov at the edge of the area and Tsyhankov's shot finished low in the right corner. Moldova 0-2 Ukraine

Shaparenko has a good shot saved by the Moldovan keeper Railean!

Big blow for Ukraine, Mykolenko goes off injured and it looks bad.

Yaremchuk has a powerful close range shot, excellently blocked by the Moldovan keeper at his near post.

Ukraine take an early lead in the 2nd minute, as Yaremchuk struck the ball beautifully on the bounce and his dipping shot beat the keeper and found the corner of the net. That was a great goal by Yaremchuk! Moldova 0-1 Ukraine

Moldova host Ukraine in a friendly match today. It will be Ukraine's final friendly match before the head off to play at Euro 2024. Ukrainian manager Rebrov has named a much stronger line-up than the team that started against Poland in their last match, but this line-up against Moldova is still not the starting 11 we can expect to see at Euro 2024. Ukraine's line-up against Moldova is the following: Lunin Konoplia - Zabarnyi - Matvienko - Mykolenko Tsyhankov - Shaparenko - Stepanenko - Mudryk Sudakov Yaremchuk

Well I think if you watch these teams play, you will see that they are no pushovers. We saw Iceland against England and I've seen them in other matches, they can be a very tough side to play against. France could only draw at home against Canada yesterday and we all know the quality of players France have. While Scotland are admittedly not in the best form right now, it wasn't that long ago when they were beating sides like Spain 2-0. So yeah, to be thrashing these teams, I do think it shows how well the Dutch are playing.

Yes, but the point is that they are on form(no slip ups) and they are banging in the goals. They thrashed Scotland, Canada and Iceland, all of whom are quite decent sides.

I think it shows that the Dutch are currently one of the most in form teams heading into the Euros. The following are their results in their last 7 international matches: Greece 0-1 Netherlands Netherlands 1-0 Ireland Gibraltar 0-6 Netherlands Netherlands 4-0 Scotland Germany 2-1 Netherlands Netherlands 4-0 Canada Netherlands 4-0 Iceland They've not been short of scoring goals in many of their matches. Their team seems to be clicking very well.

He should have done better for the 1st goal, even though he will claim that his view of the ball was blocked by the defenders and that he only saw the ball very late. But there's nothing much he could have done for the other 3 goals.

Poland look quite strong, judging by their friendly performances, they were definitely the better team against Turkey and deserved the win. They could have scored more goals in truth, but the Turkish keeper made some good saves. It will be a huge blow for Poland if they lose Lewandowski and Swiderski, seeing as Milik will definitely not be going to the Euros following his injury in the friendly against Ukraine. But the absence of Lewandowski in particular, would be a huge setback for Poland. He is the go to guy in attack for them.

Poland played Turkey in a friendly this evening in their last game before Euro 2024. Poland beat Turkey 2-1 in the end. Swiderski scored to give Poland the lead as early as the 12th minute, a lead Poland would maintain until half-time. But in the 2nd-half, Turkey equalised through a goal by Yilmaz in the 77th minute. However, Poland would retake the lead late in the game, as Zalewski scored a lovely winning goal. Poland played very well once again and deserved the win. Poland 2-1 Turkey

The Netherlands routed Iceland 4-0 in a convincing win for the Dutch. Xavi Simons gave the Netherlands the lead in the 23rd minute and in the 1st half. In the 2nd half, goals from Virgil van Dijk, Donyell Malen and Wout Weghorst made it 4-0 to the Netherlands. The Netherlands produced a dominant performance in this match, as their pressing game and constant attacking play, was very effective this evening. Netherlands 4-0 Iceland

Slovakia thrashed Wales 4-0 in an impressive display by the Slovaks. Kucka opened the scoring for the Slovaks in the 1st half with a powerful long range shot that found the back of the net. Bozenik scored Slovakia's 2nd goal with a lovely near post close range finish from a cross by Hancko. Slovakia's 3rd goal came when an acrobatic scissor kick by Haraslin that was heading goal-wards was helped into the back of the net by Ampadu. Slovakia's final goal came from Laszlo Benes, as his powerful swerving shot from outside the area, found the corner of the net. It was an emphatic and well deserved win for the Slovaks in a match that they dominated the Welsh. Slovakia 4-0 Wales

The Czech Republic beat North Macedonia 2-1 in their final friendly match before Euro 2024. Schick and Barak scored the Czech Republic's goals, while Alimi scored North Macedonia's goal. Czech Republic 2-1 North Macedonia

France could only draw 0-0 with Canada, as they didn't manage to break Canada's deep lying defence. Despite France creating many chances and hitting the cross-bar through a Thuram shot, they couldn't find the back of the net. A lot of credit has to go to Canadian keeper Crepeau though, as he helped keep a clean sheet for Canada thanks to some great saves. France 0-0 Canada

Georgia beat Montenegro 3-1 away from home. Goals from Kiteishvili and Mikautadze gave Georgia a 2-0 half-time lead. Jovetic pulled a goal back a quarter of an hour into the 2nd half for Montenegro, but Zivzivadze would score Georgia's 3rd goal in the 86th minute to seal the win for the Georgians. Montenegro 1-3 Georgia
