The Premier League has been told by government experts that coronavirus restrictions could endure for at least a year across English football, with players allowed to resume only non-contact training from Tuesday.
England’s top division has been studying how the Bundesliga was able to resume at the weekend while being realistic about missing its aspiration of getting back underway by June 12.
“ we have had a proper discussion with clubs about how much is required to create the fitness levels before they can start playing, we are then in a position to be able to confirm when the season start is,” Masters said. “They’ve made it very clear that the social situation, the public health situation is not going to change over the next six to 12 months,” Premier League medical adviser Mark Gillett said. “We’re going to be looking to make the same kind of cultural changes at training grounds and in footballers’ behaviours whether we have this conversation now or at any point this year. It is important that people understand that.
Players will have to arrive at the training ground on their own — already in their kit — and leave at least three spaces between each car in the parking area. Liverpool was on the verge of ending a 30-year title drought when the league was paused in March, sitting 25 points clear with nine games remaining. The league is still planning on handing over the trophy even though stadiums will be closed to fans — potentially into next year.
