Poland, Sweden and the Czech Republic have issued a joint statement refusing to play their upcoming World Cup play-off matches in Russia.
Leeds United midfielder Mateusz Klich is scheduled to travel to Moscow with Poland to face Russia in the semi-finals, with the winners playing either Sweden or Czech Republic for a place in this year’s World Cup in Qatar.
But the three teams involved have released a strong statement revealing their opposition to travelling to Russia due to their invasion of Ukraine in the last 24 hours.
