Food poisoning caused defeat
Ukraine coach Oleg Blokhin dismissed fears about his team's poor form ahead of the European championship following the co-hosts second consecutive friendly defeat at the hands of Turkey on Tuesday.
"We experienced serious personnel problems in the match with Turkey as our 10 players were suffering from food poisoning and we had to shuffle the line-up just before the kick off," Blokhin said after the match in Ingolstadt, Germany, which his team lost 2-0.
"We still do not know what caused it as those who suffered the poisoning ate different food.”
