Lincoln City midfielder Ivan Varfolomeev has earned his first call-up to the Ukraine senior squad for the country's Nations League group matches in September and October.

The 22-year-old is making the step up after regular appearances across Ukraine's youth levels.

Ukraine are in the same group as Hungary, Georgia and Northern Ireland, with their first match against the Hungarians on Friday, 25 September.

Meanwhile, BBC Radio Humberside say that former Grimsby assistant head coach Shaun Pearson has joined Lincoln's backroom staff.

He left the Mariners last month and is set to be named as a first-team coach for the Imps.
