Shakhtar have not played at their home stadium in Donetsk since May 2014
While preparing for the biggest week of their season, Shakhtar Donetsk face challenges which are unimaginable for most football clubs.
After facing Crystal Palace in Krakow, Poland, in the first leg of their Uefa Conference League semi-final on Thursday, the Ukrainian Premier League leaders will begin an arduous journey.
They'll face 18 hours of bus journeys to get to Kyiv in time for Sunday's match against Dynamo Kyiv.
With Ukrainian airspace closed because of the war with Russia, they will then retrace their steps to Poland and fly to London for next week's second leg.
