VIDEO: Ivica Olic opens up on effect of Junior Malanda's death on Wolfsburg

The footballing world is mourning the death of 20-year-old Junior Malanda, but the tragedy is inevitably hitting a little closer to home for Wolfsburg's players.

In conversation with the Bundesliga's official YouTube account, a grieving Ivica Olic opened up about the effect that Malanda's death has had on the club, despite admitting that "it's very hard to find the right words" and insisting that Wolfsburg "have to carry on."

Olic and Malanda last took the pitch together in the second half of Wolfsburg's 1-0 win over Borussia Monchengladbach at the end of November.
