Liverpool striker Andriy Voronin has revealed he's held talks with Ukraine coach Olexiy Mikhailichenko after he was overlooked for their World Cup playoff squad.

Voronin isn't panicking and confident he still has a place in Ukraine's future.

"I have spoken with the coach of the national team and I do not have a problem with him," Voronin told Liverpoolfc.tv.

"At the moment, it's better for me, and him, that I don't go with the national team and stay here to train with Liverpool."
