EA Sports is busy capturing images of players’ faces for FIFA 19.

Footage posted on Chelsea FC’s YouTube channel showed a number of stars taking part in the 3D head-scanning process for this year’s highly-anticipated game.

To ensure they’re as realistic as possible, life-like scans are generated using a sophisticated system of cameras – capturing faces from a variety of angles.

Eden Hazard, Alvaro Morata and Thibaut Courtois were among those filmed getting photographed.

The players then posed with a blank FIFA card, which is used for Player of the Month awards and to display upgraded in-game stats.
