Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden has become the latest footballer to take up the ‘Stay At Home Challenge.’
The footballer is tasked with using a toilet roll to do keepy ups and Foden does a pretty successful job, as well as nominating Raheem Sterling and Kylie Walker to take it on next:

With footballers in lockdown as the Coronavirus outbreak forces the whole world to grind to a halt, at least they are keeping themselves occupied.
At the moment, the professional game is on an indefinite hiatus, and with that being the case, players will be forced to either train from home and keep up their fitness, or train behind closed doors not knowing when their next match will be.
When this will all blow over, it is hard to predict at the moment, but the likes of Foden could well have to wait months for their next game.
