“We will train in groups of nine, keeping in line with the government’s measures,” Milosevic told Serbia’s Prva television. “The pandemic has had a crippling effect. Players have been idle for two months now and they will need at least four weeks to get back into shape, otherwise there is a big danger of injuries when the season eventually resumes.”
They include daily curfews from 5pm to 5am on weekdays and more stringent ones at weekends, lasting around the clock from Friday afternoon until Monday morning.Some coaches and pundits maintain the 16-team top division could resume in late May or early June and suggested the seven playoff rounds should be axed in order to make time for a summer break.Milosevic is confident soccer will quickly find its feet once competitive matches resume.
