Leeds United fan tracks down Ezgjan Alioski during lockdown

In one way or another, the coronavirus pandemic has had an impact on everyone's everyday lives.

From either not being able to go out to see family and friends, to not being able to go to work, the impact of COVID-19 has been tough.

And it has also had a huge impact on the remainder of the 2019/20 football season, with the season currently suspended indefinitely.

That, of course, has stopped Leeds United's promotion charge in its tracks. Prior to the suspension of the campaign in early March, Leeds had just won five games on the bounce and had climbed their way back to the top of the Championship table.

But even though Leeds' players and head coach Marcelo Bielsa are not being able to meet up and train together because of the social distancing restrictions in place, it has not stopped Ezgjan Alioski from venturing out of his home.

The Macedonia international, who has been used mainly as a left-back this season, was spotted by a Leeds supporter on Monday afternoon driving his car.

Alioski kindly wound down his car window and gave the thumbs up for Reddit user Peepsandpoops, who, alongside the image, wrote: "His car needs a clean but the guy's looking good!"

This season, Alioski has been key to Leeds' promotion prospects, racking up 30 appearances in the Championship, as well as chipping in with four goals.
