“Haven’t even seen the baby yet,” he admitted.
According to Sudakov, the team’s head coach, Jose Mourinho, having learned that his ward had become a father for the second time, allowed him to go to Ukraine for a few days.
“I say that I only need two days to travel, and he simply doesn’t understand, probably fully, what is happening in our country,” the Benfica player noted.
The footballer said that his wife is now preparing documents for their youngest daughter to bring her to him in Portugal.
