Sunday supplement: ‘Problems will arise every day’
Analysis of The Mirror’s top sports reporter Andy Dunn…
“I don’t think the Bundesliga and Brighton cases will change the game. They are only indicative of the kind of obstacles that will have to be overcome if you want to return to football. Speaking of Germany, there were three Cologne players at the beginning of the month who gave positive for coronavirus, they were still training, the local health authority gave them permission and they are scheduled to resume their Bundesliga season against Mainz next Sunday.
“Local health authorities in different regions of Germany are reacting differently. Clearly, in the case of the last Brighton player to test positive, they will not have resumed training for the team yet, obviously, so it could be that he just has to isolate yourself.
1:17 After the news that a third Brighton player tested positive for coronavirus, Sunday’s Supplement panel discussed the challenges of resuming play.
“These are all problems and barriers that we know are going to be put in. We certainly know that they are going to be put in place and that they will be difficult to overcome, but you mention asking Dominic Raab the question, the reason why number 10 asked him to a sports journalist who asked a question in that briefing, it was because they want to go out.
“I was ready to say that they want me to come back, they want me to lift the spirit of the nation, which Secretary of Culture Oliver Dowden repeated on Friday, and it’s pretty clear from the comments we’re getting from the government that they want this to go ahead, and the Premier League, for financial reasons, wants it to go ahead.
“Basically, there is the will of the government and football to reignite it. They know that they are going to have problems like this that are going to arise every day. Last night the Bundesliga, today the Brighton problem and they are going to have to be overcome.
“Whether these obstacles can be overcome or not remains to be seen, but the underlying point, certainly from the government this week, is that they will do everything possible to help the Premier League put this back into practice.”
