Goalkeeper Yevgen Nazarenko laughed as he warmed up on a football
pitch in Kyiv. He had been asked to stretch his hands, but he only
has one. Nearby Oleg, who has only one foot, groaned and lost balance
as he did press-ups. Both men lost limbs fighting for Ukraine. Once
or twice a week, a dozen or so amputees get together in the Ukrainian
capital for football training. Most played regularly before their
injuries, now prosthetic legs are propped up on the side of the small
artificial pitch in central Kyiv.
