Willian fearful of catching coronavirus from players and 'passing illness to wife and daughters' if Premier League season restarts and admits he worried he'd caught virus from Chelsea team-mate Callum Hudson-Odoi

Willian has admitted he's fearful of catching coronavirus from opposition players and passing it on to his family if the Premier League season restarts.

Top flight football was suspended indefinitely on April 3, with league chiefs revealing it would only restart once it was safe to do so.

With the death toll in the UK continuing to rise, it appears unlikely that Premier League football will return soon but talks are ongoing about alternative plans.
