'Fairytale club' Chapecoense face difficult task to rebuild
Brazilian side Chapecoense face a "difficult task" to rebuild, according to South American football expert Tim Vickery.
A plane crash in Colombia on Monday killed 71 people - including 19 players and the coaching staff - while the three players who did survive the crash were all seriously injured.
Chapecoense were due to play Atletico Nacional in the final of the Copa Sudamericana on Wednesday.
"The great Torino side in 1949 was wiped out in a plane crash - they received a lot of solidarity," Vickery told Kelly Cates on 5 live Sport.
"But you look at their subsequent history and you see how difficult the challenge has been for them.
"Chapecoense are a much smaller team from a small town."
