Manchester City star Oleksandr Zinchenko has issued a heartfelt plea for help from the football community as Russia's invasion of his homeland Ukraine continues.
Zinchenko, 25, shared an appeal alongside several other Ukrainian footballers including West Ham's Andriy Yarmolenko. It comes days after the Man City defender and Ukrainian national team captain embraced Everton player and fellow countryman Vitaliy Mykolenko ahead of the 1-0 victory over the Toffees at the weekend.
The Ukrainian internationals spoke briefly with Zinchenko, who was present at a vigil outside Manchester's Central Library on Thursday evening, visibly upset.
