Ukraine has suffered a major setback ahead of its playoff match against Sweden. Ajax player Oleksandr Zinchenko has been forced to undergo knee surgery.

The announcement comes after he injured his knee during last weekend's match.

The defender will now miss the rest of the season, Ajax said on the club's website. Ukraine and Sweden meet on March 26 in the qualifiers for the World Cup later this summer.
