The 30-year-old had helped Ukraine qualify for the finals in France but Fomenko named just three forwards in his initial squad.

Seleznyov joined the team in Sardinia for their training camp, the Ukraine Football Federation said on their website.

The FFU added that Oleksander Zinchenko, who was named in the provisional squad last week, was battling an unspecified injury.
