Chelsea forward Willian has asked the Blues if he can return home to Brazil to be with family during the coronavirus outbreak.

Willian told Brazilian channelGlobo SporTV (h/t Alex Milne of The Mirror) he's currently alone in England because his wife and daughters have returned to Brazil:

"They went first, I was going to have a break and I was going too. Now, I'm checking here, if I have authorisation from the club.

"We're deciding, they are about to come back here, but as there was a meeting and there was a definition here, they postponed the league until April 30th… With that fact, I'm trying to get permission from the club to be able to go.
