LIVERPOOL – Several top-flight players have signed up to represent their clubs in this week’s ePremier League Invitational Tournament to generate funds for Britain’s National Health Service (NHS) during the novel coronavirus pandemic.
The inaugural edition of the knockout tournament will see players test their FIFA 20 video game skills against each other between today and Saturday from the comfort of their homes.
Among the players who have confirmed their participation are Manchester City’s Raheem Sterling, Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold, Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Diogo Jota and Crystal Palace’s Wilfried Zaha.
