Premier League Clubs To Train In Small Groups From Tuesday

Premier League Clubs To Train In Small Groups From Tuesday

Premier League clubs have unanimously agreed to phase one of ‘Project Restart’ which will see the top flight sides return to training in small groups from Tuesday.

The Premier League has been suspended since March 13 because of the coronavirus pandemic but plans are in place to resume play, initially without spectators, as soon as it is safe to do so.

The UK government announced last week that sporting events will allowed to resume from June 1 under strict guidelines.

Some Premier League players including Sergio Aguero, Willian, Raheem Sterling and Troy Deeney have already expressed concern about the proposed early resumption of the league.

In a statement released after a meeting between all 20 clubs on Monday, the Premier League said: 'Premier League Shareholders today voted unanimously to return to small-group training from tomorrow afternoon, the first step towards restarting the Premier League, when safe to do so.

'Step One of the Return to Training Protocol enables squads to train while maintaining social distancing. Contact training is not yet permitted.

'This first stage has been agreed in consultation with players, managers, Premier League club doctors, independent experts and the Government.

'Strict medical protocols of the highest standard will ensure everyone returns to training in the safest environment possible.

'The health and wellbeing of all participants is the Premier League’s priority, and the safe return to training is a step-by-step process.

'Full consultation will now continue with players, managers, clubs, the PFA and LMA as protocols for full-contact training are developed.'
