Premier League return to training squad ahead of ‘Project Restart’

Premier League clubs have sent their players detailed training proposals ahead of Monday’s expected return.

Top-notch clubs will return to their training bases from May 18 before a possible restart date of June 12.

Now they have reached out to their squads and technical staff to explain what the Project Restart opening days will look like.

Sportsmail may disclose that:

• The sessions will start as soon as 8.15am.
• Clubs plan to have a player liaison officer available at all times.
• About 40 people can be evaluated twice a week, and most Premier League players will be evaluated this Friday.
• Backroom staff will conduct evening training reports via conference call.
• Tactical sessions with players will take place in Zoom.
• The training grounds will be thoroughly cleaned daily.

Several Premier League players continue to have great reservations about their safety. In fact, clubs advise staff not to return if they feel uncomfortable.

But that hasn’t stopped them from taking steps to ensure their players and staff are fully prepared for the return.

Players will be evaluated before their return to training, with an initial limit of 40 people twice a week.

That means some staff members have been told that they will not be needed for the opening phase of their club’s comeback.

The wolves became the first top-notch club to test tests on the back room staff, and most league players will be evaluated on Friday.

The Newcastle players have also been informed that they will be evaluated on Friday.

Clubs will distribute each player’s new training kit during initial tests.

For the first days of training, players will be divided into groups of up to five. Each group will be assigned a designated coach.

Whenever possible, each group will include a porter to help assist with certain exercises.

The Newcastle players have been informed that they will be tested for coronavirus on Friday.

It is understood that goalkeeper coaches may work individually with goalkeepers, but not within the group.

Each group will be assigned a time interval to arrive at their session, starting at 8.15 a.m. Security personnel will be informed of the arrival time assigned to each player and will only allow entry according to a list given to them each morning by a training camp official.

Per League protocols, players, who will have designated parking spaces, must arrive in their training kit.

The clubs want each group to go through training camp in 75-90 minute periods to ensure there is no overlap between the parties.

Injured players will be assigned separate slots for treatment once each training group has passed the training ground.

Clubs must appoint a coronavirus officer, but cannot be members of the club’s medical staff.

The club doctor will remain on site throughout the day and there are plans to have a club player liaison officer available to speak, in person or by video call, at all times. He or she will help with the complexities of returning to work during the coronavirus pandemic.

Until the rules of social distancing are relaxed, tactical sessions will be held in videoconferences. The coaching staff also plans to make daily reports at Zoom to discuss the training for the day and prepare for the next session.

Most indoor facilities on training grounds, such as locker rooms, showers, and cafeteria, will be off-limits, but gyms will be free to use, provided players meet social distancing guidelines and equipment is disinfected afterward of use.

At the end of each day, a deep cleaning will be done.
