  • The Watford forward did not want to put his five-month-old baby "in more danger" and raised concerns over the increased risk to black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) players.

    His baby was born prematurely and has breathing difficulties.

    Many people on the street have also told him to go "back to work."

    "I saw some comments in regards to my son, people saying: 'I hope your son gets corona[virus],'" Deeney told CNN Sport.

    "That's the hard part for me. If you respond to that, people then go: 'Ah, we've got him' and they keep doing it."

  • Earlier, Deeney refused to go back to work when the Premier League launched Project Restart.

    The player had said he will not return to training amid concerns for his own son's health, as well as that of BAME players.

    Premier League clubs had unanimously voted in favor of resuming training in small groups last week after eyeing a resumption next month.

  • "My son is five months and he's had breathing difficulties. I don't want to come home and put him in more danger. You've got to drive in in your own kit, you can't have showers, then drive back in the same dirty kit you've got," Deeney had said on Eddie Hearn and Tony Bellew's Talk The Talk podcast.
