MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - Cutting edge virtual reality technology, allowing football clubs to return players to match situations and for the injured to get 'match sharp', is being tested and used by top English and European clubs. For contractual and confidentiality reasons, the clubs cannot be identified but they include some of the biggest in the Premier League and Europe. Phelan said one element that coaches find useful is being able to view situations from the player's perspective. As well as 're-playing' situations, the platform allows for preparation for possible scenarios ahead of a game. "You could use it at academy level, use it with injuries, use it with senior elite football players," he said.
