Tammy Abraham and Reece James work up a sweat on exercise bikes as Chelsea stars stay fit at home amid coronavirus chaos

CHELSEA stars Tammy Abraham and Reece James worked up a real sweat on exercise bikes as they attempted to stay fit at home amid the coronavirus chaos.

The Blues youngsters – along with the rest of England’s footballers – have been forced to work from home while the Premier League is suspended.

James and Abraham trained at home while Chelsea training was postponed

There will be no football until April 4 at the earliest, with all elite football on hold until then over coronavirus.

Chelsea were one of the first Premier League teams to be affected by the killer bug.

Last week, the Blues were forced to cancel training and send players home to self-isolate after they came into close contact with someone infected with the virus.

Cobham was given a deep clean with a view to getting back to training the next day – but the Premier League was suspended shortly after following Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta’s diagnosis.

Hours after Arteta’s news, Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi revealed he had tested positive for coronavirus.

Players across the league have been sharing pictures and videos of what they’re up to while on lockdown.

And Chelsea stars Abraham and James have been doing everything they can to stay in tip-top shape, exercising not only great patience, but also their bodies with a gym session from home.

England striker Abraham captioned a video of himself working hard on the exercise back.

The Chelsea ace, dripping with sweat, captioned it: “People who cycle daily… you deserve awards.”

Shortly after, right-back James – who was enjoying a stellar debut season in the Blues’ first-team – uploaded a similar video of himself getting fit on a static bike.

It was his second post in as many days, having also shared a frustrated four-word message.

At the time Chelsea were set to kick-off against Aston Villa, he shared a picture of himself looking glum, wearing clown make-up, captioned: “Boredom at its finest”.
