Tammy Abraham expresses fears of resuming EPL, says He's father has asthma

Chelsea no 9 has revealed that he wants to resume the season but only if the environment is safe.

The Premier League and other sporting events have been suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic. 

Although, the government and football clubs have been in a dialogue in a move to resume the season. 

He lives with his parents, his brother and sister, and is concerned about the possible implications for his father Anthony, who is asthmatic.

'Everyone can see what's going on in the world,' says Abraham. 'Everyone wants to come back to football. I love football. It was my first full season at Chelsea, I was having a great season and I would love it to continue.

'The most important thing for me is for everyone to be well and safe, and for things to start opening up. Then by all means football can always come back. If it's safe to do so let's do it, but if it's not then we will wait.

'My dad has asthma, so if I was to return to the Premier League and, God forbid, I do catch this disease and bring it home it's the worst thing possible.

'The last thing I need is to catch the virus myself or be in contact with anyone with the virus.'

Abraham would consider moving out of the family home in Surrey and into isolation in a hotel. 

'It's a hard one,' says the 22-year-old striker. 'It's something we've all been thinking about for the last six or seven weeks.

'If the Premier League does come back, I don't know what I'd do but the hotel could be an option; to self-isolate away from my family.

'I've got my dad's full support for going back. He just wants me to go back. He's one of my biggest fans.'

The Bundesliga is set to resume their matches this weekend. 

'Germany have planned it out well,' says Abraham. 'The coronavirus has not been as big as it's been in England. I feel they're going the right way. 

'As players, we've just got to be patient and wait for the clubs, the Premier League and the Government to come to a decision about whether it's safe for us to do so. We'll take it on from there.

'If they bring back the Premier League then it's clearly safe enough to do so. If they don't then it's clearly not.'
