Watford's captain Troy Deeney at the match between Manchester United and Watford at Old Trafford, Manchester, Britain. February 23, 2020.
Deeney has been absent from training since Watford and other Premier League clubs returned to non-contact sessions last week.The forward's concerns over potentially passing on Covid-19 to his five-month-old son, who has had breathing difficulties, came even before team-mate Adrian Mariappa and two other Hornets staff tested positive.
"I saw some comments in regards to my son, people saying: 'I hope your son gets corona'," Deeney told CNN Sport. He added: "In a time where it's all about mental health and everyone says 'speak up, speak out, please speak', Danny Rose spoke out... and I spoke out and we just get absolutely hammered and battered for it.
