Euro 2012 Ukraine Provisional Squad
Oleh Blokhin the Ukriane international team coach has announced his provisional squad for this summer Euro 2012 season and include the likes of Andriy Shevchenko and Anatoliy Tymoshchuk as its biggest names as well as former Liverpool forward Andriy Voronin.
Andriy Shevchenko had a reasonably unsuccessful spell at English club Chelsea after making a move from Italian club AC Milan. Shevchenko un-doubtably has talent but he could not perform in the EPL and was then loaned back to AC Milan, before moving back to his hometown club Dynamo Kyiv.

Coach Oley Blokhin took the Ukraine to the World Cup Quarter Finals in Germany 6 years ago and remains the only manager to take the country to a major international championship. The former striker became a Soviet legend after scoring 42 goals in 112 appearances for the national side. His previous managerial experience includes AEK Athens and Olympiacos amongst others.
