Shust had been expected to be on duty for his country's Under-21 side in the European Championships in Portugal, but will miss that tournament to prepare for the World Cup finals instead. Made his name with Karpaty Lviv before moving to Shakhtar Donetsk at the beginning of the year and was also immediately called into the national team, making his debut against Azerbaijan earlier this year. Was called back into the senior squad alongside fellow youngster Andriy Pyatov in a shock selection by coach Oleg Blokhin for the summer showpiece.
