Crystal Palace striker, Jordan Ayew has said he is happy with the return of the English Premier League after the Coronavirus shutdown.

Ayew’s side will travel to the Vitality Stadium to face Bournemouth on the restart of the Premier League.

“Football is my life; I grew up in football. It is the only thing I literally know how to do and the only thing that keeps me busy,” he told Palace TV.

“Not having football for two months, I was really sad, not depressed, but not too far from it.

“Things are moving slowly, there is football on TV, it is a good thing for me. I am really, really excited about the first game back of the season.

He also touched on playing without the support of the fans at the stadium.

“Now we are resuming the season, but it’s like a new season basically because we’ve had maybe two, three weeks to train together, things change, I cannot explain it, but without fans, it is not the same thing, we all know how important the fans are.” Jordan Ayew concluded.
