It was hard not to think dark thoughts after two operations; tougher still given a prosthetic was nowhere on the horizon.Now it is mid-May. Wearing the red, yellow-trimmed shirt of FK Khrestonostsi, Moskal puffs out his cheeks before sitting in the dugout. He props his crutch against the neighbouring seat. The second ha...
