Football stars take part in #combatcorona FIFA 20 online streaming session as fans crave football fix
The vast majority of real football around the globe has been postponed in the light of the worsening coronavirus outbreak, with Premier League games suspended until at least April 30.
A number of players and those involved in football have contracted the disease including Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, Chelsea’s Callum Hudson-Odoi as well as several League One players.
Fans though, are keeping their spirits high online.
West Ham’s Michail Antonio and Spurs star Ryan Sessegnon entertained fans in a FIFA 20 head to head on Friday night.
Sess came out on top, meaning a forfeit for Antonio that will soon see him donning a Tottenham shirt.
And now, stars including Welshman and Real Madrid striker Bale have announced they will be taking part in a big FIFA 20 tournament in aid of charity to support the fight against the deadly bug.
He posted on Instagram: ”Let’s beat #Coronavirus!
”I’ll be competing in the #CombatCorona FIFA 20 charity stream alongside other professional footballers to raise funds for those in need.
”We’ll announce a date soon! Tag which players you want me to play against.”
Among those billed to be taking part are Chelsea stars Mason Mount, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Billie Gilmour.
Manchester United full-back Luke Shaw also appears on the promotional poster, as does Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.
