All 20 Premier League clubs are believed to have been sent a 40-page document outlining protocols for a possible resumption of group training next week. Medical staff and physios must wear PPE when treating the players, while data will be kept on record and sent to the Premier League. Once out on the pitch, tackling and contact will reportedly be banned for the first phase of team training while all equipment, including playing surfaces, will be disinfected. Players, the PFA and Government staff are reported to be meeting on Wednesday over safety issues surrounding a possible restart. However, possibility of the Premier League campaign being completed on a home-and-away basis appears to be open after Deputy ChiefConstable Mark Roberts of South Yorkshire Police, said "positive" discussions had been held on Monday evening.
