On top of every major division on the planet being suspended for the foreseeable future, a number of players and figures in the game have contracted the virus itself, with the likes of Paulo Dybala and Paolo Maldini recently being confirmed as testing positive as reported by BBC Sport.
The Express and Star also reported last week that Baggies forward Charlie Austin had started developing symptoms, but there has since been a positive update from the star man himself.
Will the Championship season be completed?
Yes
No
The 30-year-old attacker posted a photo to his official Twitter account of him and his daughter taking part in an online PE lesson, and plenty of West Brom supporters on social media were delighted to see the striker on the mend after showing COVID-19 symptoms earlier in the month.
Here’s what many West Brom fans had to say on Twitter about Austin’s post…
Stay safe fella and best wishes to you and your family 👍🙏👏
