Premier League plan show of solidarity with Ukraine over Russian invasion

Premier League clubs will pause for a moment of “reflection and solidarity” before the weekend’s games - in support of Ukraine’s fight against the invading Russian forces.

Football has put on a united front for much of its response to the invasion, with fans applauding Ukrainian players such as Oleksandr Zinchenko and Andriy Yarmolenko at matches since the conflict began.

FIFA has kicked the Russian national team out of its upcoming World Cup play-offs with UEFA taking similar action against the national teams and clubs competing in tournaments such as the Europa League and Women’s Euros.

The upcoming weekend round of matches will see Premier League captains don armbands in the Ukrainian colours of yellow and blue, with the phrase ‘Football Stands Together’ to be prominent inside stadiums across the country.
