Coronavirus: Tennis in the garden, fencing on a rooftop, how athletes are adapting to training – in pictures

Athletes are adapting to their country's social distancing measures as the world looks to resume daily and sporting life.

In Spain, Atletico Madrid followed their neighbours Real Madrid in stepping up their training programmes, despite the capital still being under the strictest measures in one of the countries hardest-hit by the Covid-19 outbreak.

Spain striker Diego Costa, French international Thomas Lemar and England defender Kieran Trippier joined other members of Diego Simeone's squad for training in smaller groups.

La Liga hopes to resume professional football in Spain on June 12 after it was shutdown in March due to the coronavirus pandemic.

In Japan, Olympic fencing medallist Ryo Miyake trained on the rooftop of his Tokyo apartment with the country still under a nationwide state of emergency as the spread of the coronavirus disease continues.

British tennis player Dominic Inglot had a hit-up in his back garden in London, days after Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced the easing of some measures on individual sports.

Check out some of the best images from athletes training around the world on Tuesday.
