The 56-year-old said: “Derek is three years younger than me and remains in a virtual coma 15 months after being rushed to hospital at the height of the first wave of the pandemic.
“Derek is back home under 24/7 nursing care but is still effectively in a coma despite occasional hopeful glimmers of cognisant response.”
“But honestly, people don’t know the half of it,” he added.
Writing in his column for the newspaper, Morgan said he thinks he caught the virus during England’s Euro 2020 final defeat to Italy.
“My confidence that the event would be ‘ Covid safe’ had disintegrated,” he said.
