Chelsea’s starlet Callum Hudson-Odoi has spoken about his coronaviruss care, admitting he thought it was ‘a minor temperature’ at first.
The England international was one of the first Premier League figures to be diagnosed with the deadly disease, along with Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, and their cases led to the shutdown of the top flight.
Around three weeks later, Hudson-Odoi insists he has fully recovered now and claims he didn’t feel too bad while suffering with Covid-19.
‘I am feeling perfect,’he told Chelsea’s official website. ‘I had the virus which has cleared now. I fully feel good, I feel fit, so I am feeling back to myself so it is all good.
‘I had it [the illness] three weeks ago now I think, on a Monday when I felt a bit hot and I was thinking this is a bit unusual, why do I feel this hot. The next day I was feeling back to normal. ‘I thought it was just a minor temperature thing, but obviously it wasn’t. I said to myself this wasn’t actually that bad, the symptoms, and I said to myself “I feel good, I feel better”.
‘Everyone has been asking me how I have been which has been class from them. They have beenshowing me support and saying “Cal, get well soon, I hope you are okay now”.
‘It has been very warming and a good feeling to know you have got your team-mates behind you, backing you and making sure you are feeling well and encouraging you.’
