Hudson-Odoi was one of the first athletes in England to test positive for coronavirus before the Premier League was abruptly halted in March.

He later took to social media to announce that he had recovered just days after being tested positive for the virus and is eager to get back on the pitch.

“Hi guys, as you may be aware I had the virus for the last couple of days, which I’ve recovered from,” he had said in a video uploaded on his Twitter handle in March.

“I’m following the health guidelines and self-isolating myself from everybody for the week.

“I hope to see everybody soon and hope to be back on the pitch very soon,” he added.
