Declan Rice sends message to West Ham teammate Andriy Yarmolenko after Ukraine tribute

West Ham United captain Declan Rice paid tribute to teammate Andriy Yarmolenko both before and after his team's 1-0 Premier League victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Ukraine international Yarmolenko has been given time off by the Hammers, with manager David Moyes saying "He’s not in a really good position at the moment" amid the escalating situation in the forward's home country.

The former Dynamo Kyiv star sat out the Wolves game, with Tomas Soucek scoring the only goal to take Moyes' team up to fifth in the Premier League table, with Rice holding aloft a shirt bearing Yarmolenko's name before kick-off.
