Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham insists that the Premier League should not return until it is safe to do so, revealing his concern for the well-being of his family.
The Premier League has been suspended since March 13 due to the coronavirus, but it is planning a return in June after the government gave the go-ahead for a closed-door restart, even though the players are still unable to participate in training. group.
While the ‘project restart’ talks continue to search for the surest method to restart the Premier League, there is a growing feeling that returning next month may be premature.
And Abraham, who lives with his parents and siblings, of whom his father suffers from asthma, has now joined people like Sergio Agüero, Raheem Sterling and Danny Rose, who have expressed their concern.
“The most important thing for me is that everyone is safe and well, and that things begin to open up,” Abraham told reporters. “Then, of course, football can always come back. If it’s safe to do it, let’s do it, but if it isn’t, we’ll wait.”

“My dad has asthma, so if I had to go back to the Premier League and, God forbid, she got this disease and took her home, it’s the worst.”
The 22-year-old reveals that he may have to isolate himself in a hotel to avoid his family if the Premier League returns. And although the Englishman insists that he is desperate to play once again, he admits that the regular criticism faced by footballers has been difficult to handle.
On the one hand, the government insists that the return of the Premier League will offer a positive boost to the nation, while others maintain that it is too soon. But ultimately, while it’s the footballers who are putting themselves at risk, many believe the decision should be entirely theirs.
“We are human, we also have feelings,” added Abraham. “I’m watching Sky News, waiting for Boris [Johnson] to make an announcement We are following what is happening in the world and trying to see if it is safe or not to return to football.
“If we can help, we will, whether in terms of finances or other ways, to help people, motivate them, and bring life back to the country. It’s difficult. I just want to be safe and healthy.”
