West Brom striker Callum Robinson is finally able to start consecutive Premier League games again after two Covid interruptions.
While Robinson stresses his own health issues weren’t comparable to those blighted by the pandemic, he was unwell.
‘It’s been stop-start,’ he says. ‘The corona can hit you, I can tell you. For the first three or four days I had hot sweats, was cold, weak, catching my breath, had a headache.
‘It was a bad few days. I lost my taste and smell. I was ill.’
The 25-year-old has spent his career trying to make it after spells at Aston Villa and Sheffield United were short-lived.
