​Chambers insists Arsenal players desperate for return

Arsenal defender Calum Chambers believes that everyone at the club wants to return to action.

There are some Premier League players who are unsure about playing during the coronavirus pandemic.

Players are hesitant about exposing themselves and possibly their families to the virus. But Chambers says that he and his teammates are raring to go.

He told Arsenal's official website: "I know the players are desperate to get back, the staff are desperate to be back in, but as we all know the health and safety of everyone at this moment in time is more important.

"The time [to play football again] will come but right now it's more important to stay safe, do what we're told and stick to the government guidelines.

"You see all the key workers doing such an amazing job during this period so I think it's important for us to play our part where we can.

"It's listening to what is said, following the guidelines and doing what we can to speed up this process and get everything back to normal."
