Chelsea squad self-isolate as Hudson-Odoi tests positive for coronavirus

The spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) throughout Premier League personnel increased in the early hours of Friday morning, with Chelsea the latest club to be hit.

The Blues announced via a statement on their website that Callum Hudson-Odoi (£5.3m) had tested positive for the virus and that their training facility would undergo a partial closure.

Crucially, in line with government health guidelines, Chelsea personnel who had recent close contact with Hudson-Odoi, which includes the full first-team squad, will now also enter into a period of self-isolation.

“Chelsea men’s team player Callum Hudson-Odoi had a positive test result for Coronavirus returned this evening. Chelsea personnel who had recent close contact with the player in the men’s team building will now self-isolate in line with Government health guidelines. These will include initially the full men’s team squad, coaching staff and a number of backroom staff.” – Chelsea statement

Hudson-Odoi becomes the first Premier League player to be announced as having contracted COVID-19 but the virus had already hit Arsenal late on Thursday.

The Gunners announced that manager Mikel Arteta had tested positive for COVID-19 and that their full senior squad would also self-isolate.

Shortly after, Brighton confirmed that their Gameweek 30 meeting with Arsenal was postponed.

No announcement has been made about Chelsea’s scheduled fixture with Aston Villa, although this is expected to be postponed as well.

The football community now awaits the results of an emergency Premier League meeting on Friday morning.

The league had officially stated on Thursday evening that all matches would go ahead as planned this weekend, although this was less than an hour before the Arteta news broke.

In response to that, the Premier League’s hand was clearly forced and an emergency meeting scheduled.

What to do if you think you might have coronavirus*

If you think you might have coronavirus or you’ve been in close contact with someone who has it:

  • stay at home and avoid close contact with other people
  • do not go to a GP surgery, pharmacy or hospital
  • use the NHS 111 online coronavirus service to find out what to do next

The 111 coronavirus service will tell you if you need to continue to stay at home (self-isolate) or if you need medical help.

    I wonder if they suspend it and decide to play it later in the year what will happen to the players who's contracts are up at the end of June. I assume they could sign contract extensions for a few months.

    1. Sharkytect

      Imagine if they chose not to move the transfer window

  2. boogle
    • 10 Years

    How long does it take a healthy person to fight the virus to a point where they can't pass it on any more?

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      2 weeks hence the 14day isolation

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        Is this for someone who is tested positive or anyone who shows symptoms?

        1. Woy of the Wovers
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 16 days ago

          About 10 days after symptoms begin.

      2. Jumpernot
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        2 weeks is the time it takes for the virus to show itself if they have it. It doesn't take 2 weeks for them to fight it. If you do recover you can still carry it and pass it on.

  3. Sharkytect
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 16 days ago

    Of they postpone the season we'd have like a 3month gameweek.

    Imagine the price changes

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      Everyone will probably be red flagged, so no price changes.

      1. Sharkytect
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        Red flags don't freeze prices. Removal of flags do.

        They'd have to give them orange flags anyway

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 16 days ago

          It requires more transfers which won't happen due to no GW deadline.

      2. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        Players are only red flagged when they aren't expected to play the next GW

    Why do so many people think you can just declare a team champions and finish the league. They haven’t won it. You can’t just go off the current league standings it would be completely unfair, some teams have had easier games/more home games than others. There’s no chance they just go off current standings and declare Liverpool champions and write off the league.

    1. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      Moreover, some teams have games in hand.

    2. Woy of the Wovers
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      How do they decide who plays in next years CL?

      1. Bubz
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        They will finish the league at some point. Or the worst case scenario is the completely void the league, but I really dont see that happening either

        1. Shatner's Bassoon
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 16 days ago

          They’ll finish league seasons across Europe yeah. Once football can be played again that will be priority (likely Behind closed doors).

          Chaos to cancel seasons & they won’t want clubs taking legal action due to revenue losses.

        2. jason_ni
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 16 days ago

          So your saying it's the end of football if you dont see either of those happening!
          Or what is the alternative? It has to 1 of those 2 options surely?

      2. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        I’ve heard there could be a play off tournament between the teams around the top 4 spot

        1. Silecro
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 16 days ago

          you can bet chelsea would win it based on current form. Lamps first prem experience as a manager, title right away, what a man !

        2. jason_ni
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 16 days ago

          In that case, is there a playoff with city and pool for the league?
          City could still win it, as unlikely as that is.
          Until its mathematical, you cant just award the winner.

    3. Jumpernot
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      I agree with you, things can change as you can't predict everything based on what's happened so far. But you'd have to be the most awkward person in the world to say that Liverpool aren't going to win the league this year

    4. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      I think two things need to be taken off the table

      Ending the season the way it is and giving out the title, Europe spots and relegation spots

      Null and voiding the whole season

      Let's see what the PL say later. We all want football and when it's safe to do so, games will go ahead (probably BCD to begin with)

    5. Dreaming of glory
      • 8 Years

      Isnt that what they did before ww2?

  5. Woy of the Wovers
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 16 days ago

    We keep hearing about the measures government is taking to combat the virus. Can someone tell me what these measures are?

    1. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      Very hard to take measures against something that spreads so easily tbh. They’re telling people with a continuous cough to self isolate, and discouraging public gatherings

      1. Woy of the Wovers
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        As below, this isn’t action on the part of government.

      2. AC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        Well they aren’t really discouraging gatherings 65k people each day packed in tight what could possibly go wrong

    2. JammySprat
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      1. Wash your hands
      2. Let more people get virus
      3. Then react

      If not enough people have it they look weak and economy takes bigger hit earlier.

      1. Woy of the Wovers
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        These measures that I take. Nothing to do with the government.

    3. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      Wash your hands and continue

      If you minor symptoms stay home

      Pathetic response but what do you expect from a Tory government

      1. boredjames
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        Govt has got this right, I reckon. You can’t ask people to start isolating now, for three months, the elderly cannot be on their own for that length of time – it’s no small ask. It’s right to follow the advice of medical professionals that are shaping UK strategy.

        1. goriuanx
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 16 days ago

          Closing schools and restrictions for airports and tube was a no brainer and will end up happening anyway

          UK should be getting advice from Italy and Co and learn from any mistakes. We all want a safe society at the end of the day

          1. Annie
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 16 days ago

            But you agree it’s about timing?

            1. goriuanx
              • 13 Years
              4 years, 16 days ago

              I agree self isolation is about timing and we may be a few weeks from that. I think we reached the time where restrictions on airports and tubes should be placed though.

              1. Annie
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 11 Years
                4 years, 16 days ago

                Yeah tubes seems a no brainer

        2. El Presidente
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 16 days ago

          No it didn't. It because of cheer incompetence and inaction people will die. They are all following this "strategy" as you call it because they are catering for big Corp interests and what big money stands to lose. You just have to look at China or Japan and what's happening in Italy. Absolute shambles!

          I guess you voted this clown and his clique in you deal with it. We'll talk in 2 weeks.

      2. One Wheels Enough

        zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

    4. Yome
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      The only measure is to stay at home if you have any symptoms. People will do that regardless.
      So the government is aboslutely doing nothing.

      1. Jumpernot
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        Government are probably still celebrating their Brexit "victory" still patting each other on the back

    5. KGFC
      • 7 Years

      They are "thinking" :p

      Virus, Virus
      Go Away
      Never show your face again

      Delay, Delay
      At Home we Stay
      Hoping Virus Goes Away

      Something like that I think

    7. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      They don't give a sh** about us basically. For some reason that manifesto gets them in almost every time.

    8. XabiAlonso
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      They are just trying to delay it so 100000 people don't turn up each morning at every hospital at the same time. The actual spread of the virus is inevitable and unstoppable given enough time

      1. El Presidente
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        That's not true either. Get informed before spreading this BS! It's not inevitable at all!! Look at what China did, look at South Korea did, Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan.... look how fast and decisively they acted!!!!

        This clowns in the UK are just despicable elitists don't giving a rat's ads about you or anybody else.

        1. Baps hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 16 days ago

          It is inevitable in Europe, since we are not even planning to take measures done in China, they say.

        2. XabiAlonso
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 16 days ago

          Check back in 3 months

    9. clodhopper
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      The government using it as a natural cull v sad

    10. FCSB
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      Washing your hands

    11. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years

      Don't go on any .cruises

  6. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 16 days ago

    Do we think all games are cancelled, or will some go ahead in the future this season?

    1. KGFC
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      Postponement more likely... cancellation only if the situation deteriorates further

    2. Sterling Archer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      euros getting moved to 2021 to allow all domestic leagues to finish once it over in month or so

    3. DLL18
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      Almost certainly looks like the Euro's will be cancelled now which gives them a couple of months in the summer to extend the season into. The most sensible thing would be to postpone the season for 3-4 weeks, give all the clubs affected a chance to self isolate and then finish the season playing behind closed doors. But when is anything the authorities do sensible.

      1. Taffer
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        This will happen.

        1. Baps hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 16 days ago

          We had pretty similar comments same time 😉

      2. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        Correct. This will happen.

        1. Baps hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 16 days ago

          That would be the most sensible thing to do, but is it going to happen. They may also decide to continue behind closed doors and cancel only matches that must be postponed (like Arsenal, Chelsea Leicester). That is the other solution on the table imo. Remember that "the show must go on (even if the circus actor dies)"...

      3. Poseidon.
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        This is what’ll happen

  7. Strchld
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 16 days ago

    I have a mini league wheres almost 40 participants. Top 5 going to get money prizes. How it should to go If they decides cancel rest of season.

    A) refund stakes for everyone. (Doesnt matter are you 1st or 40th.)

    B) Prizes out as it as when they cancel rest of season.

    C) Something else?

    1. Sharkytect
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      B.

      Honestly. And this is coming from someone with all their chips in tact but outside of the money spots

      1. Strchld
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        Thanks. Also have WC, BB and FH left and currently Im first. (1st to 10th its only around 60points.)

    2. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      I’d say refund. Different people may have all chips left, in 5th places for example, and would have been waiting to use them now.

      A refund seems like the only fair, albeit annoying, outcome

      1. Strchld
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        I can see a point. Im first and have still WC, BB and FH left. Doesnt seems a right against me.

    3. The_Fish
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      I'm suggesting 20 points be allocated for each chip left and then use those new standings.

      I'm currently 78 points clear with only TC used so this doesn't affect me.

      1. Strchld
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        I would take this. 20 points for each chip.

      2. Bird Raymond
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        Completely arbitrary and would lead to disagreements.

        1. The_Fish
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 16 days ago

          Whatever is done will lead to disagreements.

          1. Bird Raymond
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 16 days ago

            Yes much much easier to justify cancelling a stake on an event that hasn't run to its conclusion than arguing about the worth of chips.

      3. FPL.team
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        I used my FH and lost myself 30pts last week. I'd take that!

    4. Bird Raymond
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      Refund - the bet is void.

      1. Sgt Frank Drebin
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        I think this is the best option.

    5. Villan83
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      Roll money onto next season so a double pot and keep the same 40 players?

      1. Strchld
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        Or pay half of the prizes and refund half back.

    6. Sterling Archer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      i think the average points per chip would work out less than 20. would be nearer 10. im in a similar position but im 2nd with all chips and 1st has used them all and is only 2 point ahead so i am almost certain to catch them

      1. Strchld
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        10-15 could be better yes.
        Have you decided already something in your ML?

        1. Bonza
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 16 days ago

          I administer a league and am facing the same question. I am leading towards cancelling and refunding. Anything else will be arbitrary and unfair

    7. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      If the season is postponed there is no problem. Season won't be cancelled, but the only sensible thing to do in that scenario is A.

  8. Shatner's Bassoon
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 16 days ago

    If they say fixtures to be played at clubs’ own discretion that could be interesting.

    Free Hit time!!

    1. SHOWSTOPPERRR
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      No Club would risk I guess

    2. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      It's a farce if so.
      But then I'm salty because Vardy to Auba has been so rubbish.

      1. Party time
          4 years, 16 days ago

          Lmao

      2. Woy of the Wovers
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        It would be a total abdication of responsibility. Since the government has failed to act so far, the PL should make its own call.

    3. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      Reminder that as the UK is a modern country with actual worker's rights, its not possible for the PL to just unilaterally force ground staff, training staff, stewards, the police and everyone else involved in the organization of PL games to 'just play the games in the summer'.. all those people involved have families and will have holidays planned with their loved ones and have no incentive to give up their rights just so Pool can get a PL title.

      Of course they could come to agreements of compensation or employ stand ins in most positions but it's a logistical nightmare, calling it off is the sensible decision.

      1. DAZZ
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        lol, your worker holiday posts crack me up, i can’t tell if your being serious or not

        1. Brosstan
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 16 days ago

          The thing that cracks me up is how many people on here apparently live in hell holes where what I say isn't a given...

      2. SHOWSTOPPERRR
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        What if they were not in a condition to enjoy the holidays?

      3. FCSB
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        I think they’d find away / casual employers... I mean I’d say a lot of NHS nurses has holidays planned over Easter that they will no longer be able to take.

        You have to feel for the premier league players not being able to go on their end of season holidays to Dubai though

        1. Brosstan
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 16 days ago

          Those people in NHS have separate agreements about holidays in case of situations like this to ensure hospitals and ERs are properly staffed for health and safety reasons. They get their holidays at a later point. I'm literally in the same situation myself having to cancel my Easter holidays

          Making a PL game go ahead isn't a similar situation at all.

        I think they’ll manage! even if two/ three games are played in a week to get it over with sooner - like a PL playoff tournament in summer. Essential to decide relegation and CL spots.

        Sure they'll be fine. Just get all the staff in that were gonna work at the Euros seeing as that will probably be cancelled.

                  This is the argument the government have to delay cancelling pubic events until a week or two - people will stay in to start with. But eventually get bored and go out when the pandemic is at it’s peak.
                  Ridiculous though as it’s clearly spiralling out of control.

                    The awerness of the public at large is the most important factor of containment. In Asia was exactly what happened, people knew this was serious and self protected themselves and their families by immediately changing behaviours and routines. In Hong Kong the next day all restaurants were empty!

                    In the UK when you have the prime minister saying pretty blatant crap and vast majority of people saying "we will be fine". Just the same type of blind ignorance of Brexit only this time chickens are coming home to rooster a lot faster!

                  Boris Johnson in 2012: "The real hero of Jaws is the mayor, a wonderful politician. A gigantic fish is eating all your constituents and he decides to keep the beach open. There was one laudable thing about him, and that was his refusal to give way to hysteria.

                  OK, in that instance, he was wrong but in principle we need more politicians like the mayor."

                    On the train and conductor insists taking my plastic railcard off me holding it to scan and giving it back to me. He does this for half the passengers on each train. Now network rail/government needs to do somthing about that! Attending football matches would not concern me!

                        Ya concerning. Most handling credit cards/money and exchanging most likely is a good way to transmit from one to another.

                        Add wear gloves to the things to do to minimize transmission?

                      USE F.H. CHIP ????

                      I have already taken a -4. I have Alonso, Aubamyang and Saka in my team. I was planing to use F.H. in GW 31 but now if league is posponed then schedules out of the window and anything possible.

                      If games go ahead this week but there are any more cancelations then using chip may be a good idea? Or could it become even more valuable later? Discus...........

                        Do not hit that button unless it is the absolute last minute and you have had assurances certain games are going ahead. It will be very useful later and there is a great chance of no football this weekend.

                          Yes, as I say, if I were to use it would only be if further cancelations, and deffo not untill the very last minute :).

                        Games will be cancelled after the deadline if it's going ahead.

                        It would be a massive waste, in case the season is finished later.

                          Yeah. CHO, Arteta and Leicester players are only ones currently "known" to have it, there are probably much more of them that are not officialy diagnose, but have it, so no point in partial GW

                        Yeh the nearly 10% death rate in Italy wants a word with them.

                        Funny it's just like brexit. Morons form 2 extreme camps, the end of the world crowd and the is just flu crowd and the reasonable people in the middle get trampled

                        The symptoms are not as bad as flu apparently https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-51858845

                        But the spread rate and death rate is obviously much worse.

                        I'm still going to the pub later, but if I hear coughing it might be time to leave...

                      Update from each country we are in?

                      In Vietnam.

                      Schools have been closed since the beginning of Tet (Also Chinese new year January 21st or so). Scheduled to open Monday for upper grades but no shocker if they remain closed.

                      Border with China closed long ago

                      Chinese, Koreans and Italians not allowed in.

                      Euros and Uk'ers have had 15 day visas on arrival scrapped for the time being.

                      Swimming pool in my apartment has been closed since Tet but gym open, which seems odd if pool closed.

                      A couple weeks ago security at my apartment began holding thermometers up to our heads upon entrance on a daily basis.

                      On fb group page for HCmC has been reported a spa isn't allowing foreigners in and heard about a pool hall doing the same. Not alarmed but keeping an eye on that possibly developing

                      40+ cases only so far, no deaths and almost half have already moved on healthy again. The rest in different stages of isolation/quarantine

                      90 percent of the natives are wearing masks

                      One spa and a pool hall have refused Foreigners but remain open for Vietnamese.

                      A couple reported being asked to leave a guest house cuz they are foreign.

                      Not too worried about this but it's sent up yellow flags so will be keeping my eyes and ears open to see if this kind of thing increases

                        Island of Koh Samui, Gulf of Thailand

                        So far, no reported cases of the virus on the island. (fingers crossed)

                        Schools have been closed since last week until late April but that is the normal school holidays here, Thai New Year/Songkran Festival is mid April, the usual big parties/concerts etc for the New Year will likely be cancelled. The Full Moon Parties on neighbouring island of Koh Pha Ngan have been cancelled.

                        Still quite a number of tourists in the resorts, I would say mostly British and Australian, though much quieter than usual/previous years and no doubt the hotels.resorts/private villas for rent will see or have seen a fairly large amount of cancellations/postponements.

                        I drive around the island most days and visit several resorts on most days and you wouldn't know there was a global health problem, some people wearing masks but not that many.

                        The expat bars I go to still have their regulars, I was in a couple last night. Don't know about the bars/restaurants in the main tourists towns/areas I don't tend to visit them very often.

                        Overall there's no sense of panic or fear, certainly at the moment, perhaps being on a small island in the middle of the Gulf of Thailand has meant less exposure and there have been very few Chinese or Korean tourists in the last two months.

                          Interesting Mull. Was there in 88 and 92. Most likely a change or two since then, hehe.

                            Just a tad! Very much a tourist orientated island with around a million visitors a year, lived here for 16 years and still a great place to live with tourists centred around a couple of main areas, lots of great beaches away from the tourist areas.

                      Scenes if this gameweek turns out be a just blank gameweek for some teams

                      This place will go into meltdown!

                      Any other Auba owners thinking of replacing with Callum Wilson for this week and next? Kinda prefer him to Wood and already have 3 Wolves players so want to avoid taking hits there

                      My team is a bit of a mess, was going to save the FH and WC.
