The televised match at Chelsea FC is the idea of Ukraine footie legend Andriy Shevchenko and Arsenal’s Ukrainian ace Oleksandr Zinchenko.

Among those playing will be Gianfranco Zola, Robert Pires, X Factor star James Arthur and comic Russell Howard.

The Mykhailo-Kotsiubynsky school’s head Mykola Shpak, said: “We cannot thank people enough.”

The terrified youngsters cowered in a basement as the missile slammed into their science block, wiping out three entire classrooms and badly damaging scores more.

The kids then endured a month of hell as Putin’s troops occupied their remote village near Chernihiv, abducting and murdering locals and smashing down doors to steal food.

Former Gunners boss Arsene Wenger and Chelsea’s women coach Emma Hayes will manage the two sides who will play in Ukraine colours as the Yellow Team and the Blue team.
