Premier League captains are unimpressed and demand clarity before agreeing to restart project

Premier League players demand more answers in a major threat to Project Restart.

Some club captains and PFA representatives were seriously impressed by the lack of information and want more assurances.

Watford captain Troy Deeney and Mark Noble of West Ham spoke with authority and expressed concern, and he has serious doubts about whether the Premier League can be restarted.

And at the bottom there could be a consent form about a return to training that some players see as a disclaimer if they or a family member becomes ill with coronavirus.

There have been underlying concerns about whether the clubs and players would be insured and whether the players and the Professional Footballers Association want urgent responses.

The Premier League insists that it is not a medical disclaimer, but simply that they have fully read all the guidelines and will follow protocol when returning to training.

Some players talked about wanting to return, but there was a strong feeling in the video conference that it took over two hours and they still wanted more answers before signing up, but now it seems certain that the Premier League will not be ready to restart on June 12 and It will be delayed by at least a week.

It is now up to the players on the call, who were joined by managers, Premier League medical officer Mark Gillett and government medical expert Dr. Jonathan Van-Tam, to pass the information on to their teammates.

The clubs are ready for further talks on Thursday between the players, but Mirror Sport Some have been said to be ready to resist him for fear of themselves and their family members.

The Premier League will have talks with the FA, EFL and the government on Thursday and then the first flight will have a meeting on Monday when they await a vote on returning to action.

All clubs will have to provide input from their players, but it seems certain that some face the prospect that not all will report even if training begins next week before the first game to be played on June 12.

The government also presented a 14-point plan for a safe return to training for elite sport and insisted that the decision should be “personal.”

Meanwhile, the PFA especially drew attention to an important point in the government’s advice that warns of people who are “clinically extremely vulnerable”, which could include people with cancer, asthmatics and pregnant women.

While that would not mean Premier League footballers, it does apply to their “family, friends and caregivers” and is a source of great concern.
