Mohamed Salah has shown his determination to keeping himself fit by going through a crazy gym workout at 2:40am!

The Egyptian international, who is currently fasting during Ramadam, captioned the photo ‘Mood’.

Christian Pulisic has promised to donate Mexican food to staff at an American hospital every Saturday for the next month as they continue to fight coronavirus.

The USA international wants to show his thanks to those on the frontline at the hospital where he was born.

Pulisic took to Instagram on Saturday to share photos of burritos from fast-food chain Chipotle being delivered, including one box with a handwritten note on it.

'We are going through a really tough time at the moment, but we have our own superheroes who will help get us through it,' wrote the Chelsea star alongside the images.

Neymar has proved he shouldn't quit the day job after showing off his 'limited' piano playing skills.

The superstar has had plenty of time to practise on his incredible white piano during lockdown.

Taking to Instagram, the Paris St-Germain forward showed glimpses of two songs he has learned inside his £7million mansion.

Should he get bored of the piano, the Brazilian does have a gym, tennis court, sauna, massage room, spa and jacuzzi at his disposal - so don't feel too sorry for him!

A massively controversial boxing event went ahead at the weekend where fighters were sprayed with disinfectant before their bouts and fans were told to sit apart.

Despite almost all sporting events coming to a grinding halt around the world, an eight-fight boxing card with supporters took place in Nicaragua.

All fighters, trainers and ring girls were forced to wear face masks on their arrival at the 8097-capacity Alexis Argüello Sports Centre in Managua.

Fans, including children, were also sprayed with disinfectant and had their temperatures recorded as they entered the arena.
