Pyatov’s career was given a lift in unfortunate circumstances last year after he returned to the Shakhtar Donetsk line-up following the failed drug test of his rival for that position, Oleksandr Rybka, who was found to have been taken diuretic and subsequently banned for two years.
That development has opened the door for Pyatov both at club and international level and he has been involved in regular first team action in the run-up to Euro 2012, which was crucial in his selection for this tournament after coach Blokhin said he would only pick players performing regularly at club level.
A two-time Ukrainian league title winner, this veteran of the 2006 World Cup finals squad enjoyed a career highlight as he played a crucial role in Shakhtar’s 2009 UEFA Cup triumph.
