Ukraine coach Anatoliy Kutsev have named a familiar squad for their UEFA Women's EURO 2013 play-off against Iceland at home on Saturday and away next Thursday.
The main absentee is forward Iya Andrushchak, whose long-term injury also kept her out of the wins in Belarus and Finland last month as Ukraine ensured a play-off place after a tough group campaign. Kutsev will hope to a similar outcome as four years ago when Ukraine beat Slovenia to earn a first finals campaign in Finland.
