#CombatCorona: Bale, Loftus-Cheek & Pickford headline FIFA 20 charity tournament in Covid-19 battle

Gareth Bale, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Jordan Pickford are among the footballers set to partake in a FIFA 20 tournament livestreamed around the world to help raise funds to fight Covid-19.

The Wales international and England duo headline a star-studded list of players who will be involved in the Combat Corona initiative, which will see them swap stadiums for screens as they square off in aid of several charities combating the coronavirus pandemic around the globe.

Alongside Real Madrid man Bale, other names include Loftus-Cheek's Chelsea compatriots Mason Mount and Billy Gilmour, Manchester United pair Luke Shaw and Daniel James, Pickford's Everton team-mate Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Arsenal star Kieran Tierney, with more hoped to join in the coming weeks.
