Everton defender Michael Keane has given a glimpse of what it's like to train at home in self-isolation, admitting he has found it tough without proper equipment.
Keane also revealed the club are keeping tabs on players' fitness levels to make sure they working hard and ready to return to the pitch whenever the Premier League gets back underway.
With the coronavirus forcing games to be suspended, stars are having to take it upon themselves to maintain their fitness at home as they self-isolate, using exercise bikes, treadmills or whatever equipment they have at their disposal.
Ancelotti has handed all his Everton players a personal programme to work on as they stay away from the training ground during the crisis. And England international Keane says he is still adjusting to his new surroundings, saying he's had to 'improvise' without the state of the art facilities at Finch Farm.
'All the lads have been sent individual training programmes to carry out at home,' the 27-year-old told talkSport.
'It's not easy because you've not got the normal equipment, you've just got to improvise and do what you can.'
Keane said all Toffees players were having their sessions remotely monitored by the first team fitness coaches to see if they are still working hard. He explained how he would go for a morning run each day before doing some weights training later on.
'We log on with the sessions we've done, and they [medical/fitness team] keep an eye on what we're doing and gauge our fitness from that,' he explained.
'It's important we continue to work hard and build up because we don't know when we'll be back in.
'I go out for a run early and get that ticked off. Later in the day I do home gym work, whether that's upper body or lower leg strength.'
He stressed the importance of players ensuring they kept on their toes despite ongoing uncertainty around football's restart date, insisting that matches could get back underway soon as the situation develops - meaning everyone must be ready.
The Premier League and EFL are currently suspended until at least April 30, and Keane said he and his team-mates should still be match fit providing their keep their current levels up for the next few weeks.
'The Premier League could start again in a month, it could be longer.
'So we've just got to keep that base level of fitness. As long as we get a couple of weeks proper training before the next game – and the lads have worked hard in the meantime – we'll be fine.'
