"Siauliai" legionnaire greets © EuroFootball.com

"Šiauliai" legionnaire from Ukraine, defender Vadimas Tarasovas, is recovering after a meniscus surgery and on Wednesday, during the World Championship match between Spain and Ukraine, in the presence of Šiauliai club fans, he will officially "say goodbye" to crutches, according to the club's statement. "Šiauliai" team's legionnaire has played in only one official match this season - in the quarterfinals of the LFF Cup against FBK "Kaunas" football players in March, where the Ukrainian in Vilnius, in the "Sportima" arena on artificial turf, suffered a knee injury. Although it was predicted that the Ukrainian would not play for about a month, it turned out that the injury was much more serious, and he needed surgery. Although it was performed in April, the defender could only walk with crutches until now, and he should only return to the field after the "A Lyga" season break - at the end of July."
