Game on! Arsenal first back to training with other clubs ready to follow, TV channels in talks over free-to-air matches and Government discussions planned over the potential resumption of the Premier League season
Arsenal are back in training on Monday with a number of Premier League clubs also pushing to return in the biggest sign yet that Premier League football will restart soon.
With Government talks this week to discuss a potential resumption of the season, clubs are keen to get players back in shape as soon as possible and a more certain timetable is likely to be discussed at this Friday’s Premier League shareholder meeting.
Arsenal players will be allowed back to their London Colney training base for conditioning work from next week. Players will have access to training pitches on a strict rotational basis, with players exercising in small groups while maintaining appropriate social distance within Government coronavirus guidelines
An Arsenal spokesperson said: ‘Players will be permitted access to our London Colney training grounds next week.
‘Access will be limited, carefully managed and social distancing will be maintained at all times. All Colney buildings remain closed. Players will travel alone, do their individual workout and return home.’
Many clubs feel that it is becoming impossible for players to train in public as they are often approached by others, making it hard to maintain social distancing. However, if they have a personal trainer to act as a minder they would be breaking Government guidelines
