Pedro not thinking about Chelsea contract amid coronavirus pandemic

Pedro insists he isn't even thinking about his Chelsea contract talks at the moment.

The veteran winger will become a free agent at the end of this season.

But given the recent coronavirus pandemic, Pedro feels contract talks are the last thing to worry about.

"My contract ends soon but right now this is not the most important thing. I haven't even stopped to think about this," Pedro told Spanish radio station Cadena Ser.

"The most important thing is for everyone to show solidarity. Whatever happens regarding my future will happen but right now is not important as we don't even know when we will return to training.

"We have been in quarantine because one of our players (Hudson-Odoi) tested positive for coronavirus, he is now well and we are very happy for him."

The 32-year-old also announced that he had donated 3,000 protective screens for several hospitals in Spain through one of his charity organisations.

"The materials are scarce and everything that can be helped is welcome," he added.

"The hospitals told us that they are a good resource for them, and we wanted to contribute our grain of sand with these protective screens."

"I am very sorry for everything that is happening and the news that comes to us from Spain.

"From here I once again thank all the health personnel, the state security forces, the people who are in the supermarkets day-by-day, thank you to everyone for the work you are doing. Hopefully, we can stop this virus."
