A Zorya Luhansk official has indicated that tonight's Europa League clash against Manchester United in Odessa will go ahead, despite concerns over the pitch at the Chornomorets Stadium.
United manager Jose Mourinho criticised UEFA for its scheduling due to the sub-zero temperatures in Ukraine, which has made the surface "icy".
A pitch inspection was carried out this morning, and while it remains cold, officials expect improvements as the temperatures rise over the course of the day.
According to PA, an official from Zorya said: "Everything depends on the weather. The pitch is not brilliant at the moment. We are expecting temperatures of two or three degrees and everything should be okay."
United need just a point to qualify for the knockout rounds of the competition.
