Football stars, they’re just like us — they get bored during coronavirus lockdown, too.

Alexander Kerzhakov, a former striker for Zenit St. Petersburg and the top-scoring player in the history of Russian football, has used his time in quarantine to re-create some of his favorite iconic album covers.
