Aston Villa manager Dean Smith has already revealed that one of his players is asthmatic but, according to Dr Dickinson, it is likely that between “25 and 30 per cent” of all players in the league have exercise-induced asthma they are unaware of.
Dr Dickinson led a team which conducted a two-year study, concluded in 2017, which tested players from two Premier League clubs, one in the Champions League and the other mid-table, and clubs from the Championship and League One. It revealed that 28 per cent of the players had the condition.
