Modern Warfare 2 skins of footballers Neymar and Paul Pogba have appeared online.

Screenshots that have been circulating across Twitter appear to show the skins, which depict the players in military-style attire.

A football-themed crossover with the hugely popular shooter has been rumored for some time, with names of popular footballers being found as part of a recent datamine.

Neymar, the Brazillian star who currently plays his club football for PSG is an avid gamer and regularly streams first-person shooter games.

Modern Warfare 2’s multiplayer suite officially launches today.

As is usual for most game launches, the Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer release time is staggered based on what region of the world you’re in – unless you’re playing on PC, that is.

Crucially, developer Infinity Ward has warned against changing your console region settings in an attempt to gain access early. If you do so, you risk being locked out of the game entirely until the official launch time in your region, according to the developer.
