Sporting events around the globe have been grounded to a halt due to the deadly bug, with English football currently postponed until April 30 at the earliest.
Footballers are reportedly more susceptible to the killer bug than many others.
The physical strain of training, travel and things like sharing water bottles carelessly thrown to the side of the pitch make footballers a hotbed for spreading viruses.
But footie stars haven’t let isolation and coronavirus dampen the mood on mother’s day, pouring their hearts out on social media to wives and mothers.
Leicester City ace James Maddison wrote on Instagram: “All that I am or hope to be I owe to my angel mother, happy mother’s day to my beautiful, loving and caring Mumsy.
“Couldn’t be any more grateful if I tried, Love you.”
Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford also took to Instagram, he wrote: “To our rock – for every hug, every laugh, every bit of encouragement, every bit of belief, every sacrifice, happy mothers day.
“We love you, thank you for everything you do.”
Troy Deeney even went to the lengths of writing a poem called ‘Momsy’ to his beloved mum Emma – who worked three jobs to make ends meet when Deeney was younger.
He wrote on Instagram: “Happy mother’s day to all you caring, strong and amazing mums out there.
“Hope you all have a great day under the circumstances #staysafe.”
