Oleg Blokhin: Ukraine squad over food poisoning

Ukraine coach Oleg Blokhin insists that the co-hosts have recovered from food poisoning ahead of Euro 2012.

Ukraine coach Oleg Blokhin has revealed that his squad have recovered from a recent bout of food poisoning in time for Euro 2012.

A number of players from the co-hosts were taken to hospital before a recent friendly against Turkey in Germany.

Despite suggesting that it could have been 'sabotage', Blokhin is keen to draw a line under the incident.

"The poisoning issue is closed," he said. "Everybody is feeling well, including [Anatoliy] Tymoshchuk and [Andriy] Voronin.

"Everyone is absolutely fit. We are focusing on mental preparation now, rather than physical."

Blokhin's side open their Group D campaign against Sweden on Monday.
