David Beckham, Rio Ferdinand and Alex Scott 'among stars lined up for Ukraine charity game' at Chelsea's Stamford Bridge... just over a year after Roman Abramovich was forced to sell the club after Russia's invasion

David Beckham, Rio Ferdinand and Alex Scott are among the stars lined up for a Stamford Bridge charity football match to aid war-torn Ukraine in August.

It will be staged at Chelsea's home ground just over a year after Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich was forced to sell the club following Vladimir Putin's invasion.

The Sun report former England captain Beckham, ex-Three Lions defender turned pundit Ferdinand and TV host Scott will feature in the game.

Former Chelsea striker Andriy Shevchenko and Arsenal's Oleksandr Zinchenko - both Ukrainians - are tipped to captain the two teams.
