Premier League statement in full

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.

As far as I'm concerned the only reason the PL want to finish this season is to avoid a breach of contract with the TV broadcasters and having to pay back money to them. They don't give a toss about health repercussions for associated staff. Medical evidence has shown that some virus survivors had lasting lung damage. How many players are willing to risk the remainder of their careers to finish a season which they and a lot of fans no longer care about. Also imagine if it does get started and a player from a club gets infected. That would take 2 teams out for a start and if it's two players at separate clubs then four teams have to isolate and the knock on effect on fixtures becomes a problem that drags on. It's happened already with Dynamo Dresden.

Six Premier League players or coaches have tested postitive for coronavirus.

Some 748 people on the playing or coaching staff of the league's 20 clubs were tested before starting non-contact training on Tuesday.

The individuals - who work for three different clubs - must now self-isolate for seven days.

The league is hoping to start next month but there is no set date for its return.

Chief financial officer Cliff Baty said they are set to hand back £20m in TV revenue to broadcasters even if the Premier League season is completed.
