Brighton defender George Cox is passing his days playing video games and walking his dogs after being left stranded in Holland due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The 22-year-old made 21 Eredivisie appearances during a loan spell with Fortuna Sittard before the Dutch league was suspended following the outbreak of Covid-19.
Cox was told on Monday that he and girlfriend Britney could return to England but, after booking a Channel Tunnel crossing, the French border was closed, while he is unable to fly home because of his two pet dogs.
"There is a big woodland park nearby and we can go there with the dogs – they have never been walked so much!
"I went out and bought PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch so I've got things that will keep me occupied but, like every player, I'd much rather be training and playing.
"But I think we all have to accept that it's going to be a while before things return to normal."
