  • Watford captain Troy Deeney has revealed that people have told him they want his baby son to contract coronavirus after he chose not to return to training at the Premier League club. Deeney has been absent from training since Watford and other Premier League clubs returned to non-contact sessions last week. The forward's concerns over potentially passing on COVID-19 to his five-month-old son, who has had breathing difficulties, came even before team-mate Adrian Mariappa and two other Hornets staff tested positive. But the 31-year-old found himself and his family in the firing line during Mental Health Awareness week last week. "I saw some comments in regards to my son, people saying: 'I hope your son gets corona'," Deeney told CNN Sport. "That's the hard part for me. If you respond to that, people then go: 'Ah, we've got him' and they keep doing it." He added: "In a time where it's all about mental health and everyone says 'speak up, speak out, please speak', (Newcastle's) Danny Rose spoke out... and I spoke out and we just get absolutely hammered and battered for it. "So people see that and go 'woah' and it's not just us that gets it, the missus gets direct messages and you'll be walking down the street and people will be like: 'Oh, I'm at work, you go back to work'." Premier League clubs have voted unanimously for a return to contact training following government approval, with that step due to take place this week. Deeney is understood to be due to resume training next week. CNN reported he had been speaking to England's deputy chief medical officer, Jonathan Van-Tam, about the statistics showing people from black and minority ethnic backgrounds are disproportionately affected by coronavirus. "He's been doing very, very good research and there is a lot of goodwill on his part to tell me, ultimately, that I'm going to be looked after as best as they can and, ultimately, there is going to be some form of risk for all of us going back to work," Deeney said. "Lockdown and the social-distancing measures coming down mean people will still always have risk." jw/pi/lp
