Lots of footballers are spending periods of their self-isolation on social media.
It’s the easiest way to interact with fans from quarantine and it’s the most popular tool used these days to discuss sport.

The Belgian was joined by Thierry Henry and didn’t take any notice of the message left by Matic.
The Serb subtly commented: “Shut up Romelu”

Who else has told him to shut up in the past? Quite a few I’d say.
