Ukrainian footballer Evgeniy Budnik has admitted "my mind is not here" after being stranded in Turkey while a number of his family members remain in his home country.

Budnik and his teammates left for a mid-season training camp in Antalya, only for war to break out while they were there, meaning the players have been unable to return.

However, a number of the forward's family members are in Lviv, in the west of Ukraine, and a member of the club's youth team was among those killed as fighting broke out after the Russian invasion in February.

The Ukrainian domestic season is currently suspended as the war continues, with a resumption far from most people's minds as the situation continues to escalate across the country.

"There is still training every day, but the coach has been very clear that anyone who does not feel up to taking part should sit it out," Budnik told The Guardian.

"On some days I do not feel like going anywhere near the pitch.

"My mind is not here: it is with my parents and brother in my home city, Kharkiv. There are attacks happening there every day. My family are just trying to survive, hiding in a basement. We are in contact constantly.

"As I speak, I am looking for ways to get them out
