Football in most parts of the world has been brought to a halt by the pandemic that has sadly claimed the lives of more than 40 000 people across the globe.

While the majority of what supporters have been subjected to in the media has been gloomy, there are some positive stories surrounding the illness, with the latest good news coming from Valencia.

After it came to light more than two weeks ago that left-back Jose Gaya, centre-back Eliaquim Mangala and former Argentina international Ezequiel Garay had contracted the illness, it has now been reported that they have all recovered from the virus.
