In an emotional message on Tuesday, Zinchenko, who began his career at Russian club FC Ufa, said: "The whole civilised world is worried about the situation in my country.

"A country whose colours I defend in the international sports arena. A country that we try to glorify and develop.
"A country whose borders must remain inviolable. My country belongs to Ukrainians and no one will ever be able to appropriate it. We will not give up! Glory to Ukraine."
It comes after the footballer's wife, Vlada Shcheglova, who is a journalist, posted a photo of a pro-Ukraine rally in London on Wednesday evening.
