Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham fears giving his asthmatic dad coronavirus if football returns too soon.

Abraham lives with his family and is ready to play for Chelsea ‘tomorrow’ as long as it is safe.

The England striker’s father, Anthony, is also eager for his son to get back in action but asthmatics are at high risk of contracting Covid-19.

Abraham, 22, said: “If I was to return to the Premier League and God forbid I do catch this disease and bring it home, it is the worst thing possible.

“To go out on the pitch is a big thing for me. But my dad is asthmatic and the last thing I need is to catch the virus myself or be in contact with anyone with the virus.

“I’ve got his full support going back. He is one of my biggest fans — parents are always there for you.

“The Premier League and the Government have to come to a decision whether or not it’s safe enough to play again and we take it on from there. I am ready to play tomorrow if it is safe.”
