Marian Shved has withdrawn from the Ukraine squad with an ankle injury, and being called up may have been a setback for the winger’s Celtic chances.
According to the Evening Times, Shved will miss Ukraine’s upcoming Euro 2020 qualifier against Lithuania after being sent back to Parkhead with an ankle injury he picked up in training.
But why was the call up to the Ukraine squad a setback for his chances at Celtic?

Despite playing next to no football for Celtic this season, with just one substitute appearance against Nomme Kalju in a Champions League qualifier, Shved was called up to the Ukraine squad.
However his development may have been better suited to staying at Celtic during the international break, and working hard to impress Neil Lennon in order to compete for a first team spot.
The winger was called up, however, and has no suffered a further setback following his ankle injury, which gives the likes of new Bhoy Mohamed Elyounoussi, Lewis Morgan and forgotten man Scott Sinclair a chance to catch the Celtic boss’ eye.
