Serhiy Rebrov, down with an hip injury, is to miss one and possibly two of Ukraine's final tune-up friendlies ahead of their first World Cup campaign in Germany.
'I'm feeling a bit better, though for the moment I'm not joining in training sessions,' Rebrov told the daily Sport Express's online edition as the Ukrainians left for their final training camp in Switzerland.
'It is still not clear whether I will play in the friendly against Libya. There is no doubt I will miss the Italy game.'
Ukraine will play with Italy on Friday on Lausanne.
