烏克蘭隊長舍甫琴科是否能參加週三在萊比錫與西班牙的比賽成為疑問。新近簽約切爾西隊的舍甫琴科在週六訓練時對記者説：“我正與球隊共同努力，我感覺很好。這段時間對我很重要，我必須努力恢復。也許不能參加第一場比賽，但這是為了在那之後的比賽。”這位29歲的前歐洲最佳球員正從膝傷中恢復，他是在代表AC米蘭比賽時受傷的。但他曾在與盧森堡的熱身賽中在下半場被替換上場。烏克蘭主教練奧列格布洛欣也不確定情況到底怎樣。他説，“我什麼也不能説，我希望舍甫琴科成為世界盃之星，但是我們要看他以後幾天的身體情況。”

　　World-Shevchenko may miss game against Spain

　　By Iain Rogers

　　POTSDAM, Germany, June 10 (Reuters) - Captain Andriy Shevchenko cast doubt on his involvement in Ukraine's opening World Cup match against Spain in Leipzig on Wednesday.

　　"I'm working with the squad and I'm feeling quite good," Chelsea's new signing told reporters after training on Saturday.

　　"This period is important for me as I have to work to get in better shape. Possibly not for the first match but for the ones after."

　　The 29-year-old former European Footballer of the Year is recovering from a knee injury he picked up playing for his former club AC Milan but came on to score as a second-half substitute in Thursday's 3-0 warm-up victory over Luxembourg.

　　Shevchenko looked in decent shape on Saturday in front of about 2,500 noisy fans at the Luftschiffstadion.

　　"It's difficult after half an hour of a friendly match to know exactly what my physical state is," he said. "We still have time to assess things and decide together."

　　Coach Oleg Blokhin was equally non committal.

　　"I can't say anything," said Blokhin. "I want Shevchenko to be the star of the World Cup but we'll just have to see in the next few days what his physical state is."

　　Shevchenko said Spain were the favourites to win Group H which also includes Tunisia and Saudi Arabia.

　　"Spain are a great team and have a complete squad," said the captain. "They are certainly favourites for this group."
