These are hard times for professional athletes under the forced hiatus caused by the coronavirus pandemic, but for many reasons, El Paso Locomotive defender Chrio N'Toko knows matters could be worse.

Things are worse in his home country of Belgium, which has been under total lockdown for several weeks, and through that, his family back in Europe is healthy.

"Everybody back home is safe," N'Toko said in a phone interview from his El Paso home where he is riding out social distancing.
