Another meeting is planned for Monday to discuss safety measures needed for “Project Restart” to happen and Bruce said players need at least six weeks to get back in shape. “We need enough preparation time to get these players into shape or they are just going to fall down like a pack of cards. Most of the managers have the same concerns... I don’t see how we can play games until the back end of June.”
Newcastle defender Danny Rose also expressed concerns, saying players’ health was more important than restarting the season.
