Arsenal can repeat powerful Oleksandr Zinchenko gesture as Premier League shows Ukraine support

This week will be an incredibly emotional one for Arsenal's Oleksandr Zinchenko and the people of Ukraine.

Friday, February 24 will mark a year since Russia invaded Ukraine and as reported by the Athletic, for this weekend's fixtures in the top-flight of English football, Premier League players will wear armbands in the yellow and blue of the Ukrainian flag to mark the one-year anniversary.

This will mark the Premier League's latest gesture in support of Ukraine after donating £1million to support the Ukrainian cause last March, suspending its deal with Russian broadcast partner Rambler (Okko Sport), whilst Ukraine flags have been a regular feature at football stadiums over the past year.
