So I've seen a few articles on the effects of football and MH17, turns out a whole swag of players aren't wanting to return to the city which is still apparently under partial rebel control.

To be fair, while these guys have of course signed legal contracts with the club, should they have to return? I probably wouldnt.
Also FIFA have had no issues telling Israel they are banned from European competitions for their Gaza invasion, can't FIFA ban Russia ??
(mods please let me know if there is already a thread for this)
