​Chelsea winger Willian talks about Hudson-Odoi prognosis

Chelsea winger Willian has spoken about his young teammate Callum Hudson-Odoi.

The English winger has made a decent impression after recovering from a serious injury he sustained late last season.

And he was diagnosed with coronavirus around the time the league was suspended because of the virus.

William spoke about his teammate with Folha: "I realised that the coronavirus was serious when reading the news that it had arrived in Europe. But there was a moment when it really felt real for all of us – when Hudson-Odoi tested positive.

"The club told all of us that we would have to be quarantined, inside the house, without contact with anyone. My family was in Brazil and I was alone for 14 days, locked up.

"I tried to find a way to train, which was difficult because in London I live in an apartment. As soon as those two weeks were over, I looked for leaders and asked them to release me to return to Brazil. They agreed."
