Hope your son gets COVID-19: PL footballer reveals he suffered abuse for not training

Watford captain Troy Deeney has said people told him they wished his baby son would contract coronavirus after he chose not to return to training. "That's the hard part for me. If you respond to that, people then go, 'Ah, we've got him'," he added. Deeney had raised concerns over increased risk to black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) players.
