Dynamo Kyiv vs Noah: Squad Absences and Probable Lineups

Today, December 18, in the Polish city of Lublin, the matchday 6 fixture of the UEFA Europa Conference League group stage will take place, where Dynamo Kyiv will face Yerevan’s Noah.

The teams approach the final round with different motivations. Dynamo Kyiv have already lost their chances of reaching the playoffs, while Noah retain good prospects not only to qualify for the next stage but also, with favorable results, to finish in the top 8 of the overall group stage standings.

Dynamo Kyiv Squad Absences

The Ukrainian club is facing serious squad issues, especially in defense and midfield.

Unavailable:

• Vitaliy Buyalskyi — injury
• Denys Popov — injury
• Kristian Bilovar — injury
• Volodymyr Brazhko — injury
• Aliou Thiaré — suspension

The absences of Denys Popov and Aliou Thiaré are particularly significant, as both have regularly played in central defense in recent matches. Key midfielders Buyalskyi and Brazhko are also sidelined, limiting rotation options and ball control.

Probable Dynamo Kyiv Lineup

Neshcheret — Karavaev, Zakharchenko, Mykhavko, Dubinchak — Mykhailenko, Pikhalyonok, Shaparenko — Yarmolenko, Guerrero, Voloshyn.

Noah Squad Absences

The Yerevan-based club also has some absences, but they appear less critical than those of their opponents.

Unavailable:

• Timothy Fayulu — with national team
• Gustavo Sangaré — with national team
• Imran Oulad Omar — injury
• Virgil Pinson — inactive

Goalkeeper Fayulu performed confidently in previous Conference League matches but has already joined the DR Congo national team for preparations for AFCON 2025. His place is expected to be taken by former first-choice goalkeeper Ognen Čančarević.

Another key starter, Gustavo Sangaré, is absent due to international duty with Burkina Faso. However, Takuto Oshima filled in well against Legia, so this position does not seem critically vulnerable.

Imran Oulad Omar is also a key player and was one of the best performers in qualification, but he has been out for a long time, and the team has adapted to playing without the creative midfielder.

Probable Noah Lineup

Čančarević — Boakye, Muradyan, Sainthini, Soualehe — Eteki, Thórarinsson, Oshima — Ferreira, Mulahusejnović, Ayash.
