Oleksandr Zinchenko invited a 10-year-old budding footballer to come and train alongside him at Manchester City after being forced to flee war-torn Ukraine.
The left-back and Ukraine international took to Instagram to upload snaps of his day with young Andriy on Monday afternoon. The child is just one of millions who have been left with no choice but to leave their home country in the wake of Russia's invasion, which has been raging on since late-February.
According to the City star, Andriy has aspirations of becoming a professional football player much like Zinchenko. The 25-year-old Shakhtar Donetsk academy graduate is not the only Ukrainian currently plying his trade in the English top-flight. The Etihad favourite, alongside fellow countrymen Andriy Yarmolenko of West Ham and Vitalii Mykolenko of Everton, has called for peace in their home country.
