Abraham worried about asthmatic dad amid EPL restart

Tammy Abraham insists that he would love to return to football provided it is safe but at the same time is concerned about the health implications for his father who is an asthmatic patient.

The 22-year lives with his parents, his brother, and his sister.

‘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 told DailyMail on Zoom.
