Many Newcastle United fans have reacted on Twitter after Allan Saint-Maximin posted a video joining in with the ‘Stay At Home Challenge’.
With coronavirus spreading all over the globe, much of the human race are being advised to stay indoors – including footballers – so many have taken it in their own hands to do a bit of a challenge from within their own walls.
The challenge involves filming yourself doing a set of keepy uppies with a toilet roll – a rather ironic ball of choice given the state of stockpiling at the moment.
The French winger posted the video to his personal Instagram page with the hashtag #StayAtHomeChallenge. Newcastle United’s Twitter account then posted the video to their page with the same hashtag as well as the sunglasses and fire emojis.
Plenty of fans loved what they had to see from the fan-favourite, with many chipping in with their personal comments.
One joked that this is what Jack Colback is up to all year, while another one asked him to stop showing off in what seemed like a joke regarding the lack of toilet paper.
Here are some of the replies…
Can I have that when youβve finished kicking it around the house? ππ

Football across Europe has come to a halt due to the outbreak of coronavirus, and there will be no professional football on these shores until at least April 3.
Even then, it is very hard to see how games will be going ahead in just a few weeks time with the number of cases rising all of the time in this country.
