“Thank you for your service, dedication, bravery, sacrifice and efforts to get us all ‘back in the game’.
“You are the real-life superheroes and we are all cheering you on. Stay safe!”
‘SUPERHEROES’
Pulisic’s social media post read: “We are going through a really tough time at the moment but we have our own Superheroes who will help get us through it, the medical professionals all over the world.
“We will all be in debt forever to these amazing people who have showed bravery and strength to help us fight this virus.
“To show my gratitude to the Superheroes in my hometown, Hershey, PA – myself and @chipotle will be sending meals every Saturday (starting today) for the next month to all the brave men & women fighting Covid-19 at the Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, the hospital where I was born.
“Saturdays have always been a happy day for me – it was the day I could go out and play the game I love, soccer, so hopefully this will bring some happiness to our Superheroes for Saturdays to come.

“If you have the means to help your local hospital during this tough time, I encourage you to do the same. Everything counts, no matter how small. Stay Safe.”
Chelsea have asked players to support charitable causes while on lockdown, rather than accept a pay-cut clubs like Arsenal and Aston Villa have taken.
As well as opening up the hotel at Stamford Bridge to NHS staff for free, the Blues have donated 81,000 meals to those in need during the pandemic thus far.
