The Brazilian players of Dnipro-1 do not want to return to Ukraine because of the recent massive shelling of Dnipro, Fcdnipro.com reports. According to media reports, central midfielder Vitinho, striker Marcos Andre, and right back Guilherme Varjao refused to play in our country after the incident.
