Arsenal players Mesut Ozil and Sead Kolasinac are keeping busy following the announcement of the postponement of all professional football matches from March 12th, due to Coronavirus fears. 

The pair recently teamed up to stream Fortnite Battle Royale, along with M10 Esports pro, Berkay ‘Berki’ Sarioba, whose organisation is coincidentally owned by Ozil.  

The footballers pulled off some decent plays and achieved several victories while teaming up with professional Fortnite players, much to the delight of both Battle Royale and football fans. 

While many UK sports are continuing as normal as announced by the government, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta’s coronavirus diagnosis led to the immediate suspension of the Premier League. The matches are expected to return in April but, for now, let’s enjoy the world of sports and esports colliding.
