Остальные футболисты, включая играющего главного тренера желто-синих Александра Кучера, в обойме и готовятся к игре, которая состоится 29 августа на харьковском стадионе «Новая Бавария». Стартовый свисток арбитра Сергея Задирана из Киевской области запланирован на 15:30. Прямую трансляцию матча «Металл» – «ВПК-Агро» смотрите в субботу на клубном YouTube-канале.
