Leicester City legend Gary Lineker has spoken about his coronavirus status.

Lineker went into self isolation after his son was showing symptoms of the deadly virus.

Now he has spoken about his condition and to let fans know that he is doing okay.

"I'm fine in these strange times," he told talkSPORT on Monday morning.

"I've been self-isolating for about nine days now - I didn't realise I was such good fun company."

He added: "It's groundhog day, basically.

"I get up, do a couple of bits, get in the gym which I have managed to do every day - try and get some sort of routine.

"Listen to music, read books and do plenty of cooking which has become a new passion.

"Watch a bit of television - nothing overly excited.

"I'm trying to avoid just sitting on my phone looking at social media all day."

"Everything seems to be affected by this and every conversation you have on the phone comes back to this."
