A professional Serbian basketball player made an extraordinary comeback to the court this week - two years after losing a leg in a bus crash. Nataša Kovačević received a rousing reception from the crowd as she returned to action for Red Star Belgrade - scoring five points in their win on Wednesday - all while wearing a prosthetic limb. Sarah Mulkerrins spoke to the inspirational 21-year-old about her journey back to the basketball court.
