A spokesperson from Public Health England will also be present and the Professional Footballers’ Association has also been planning and having a discussion over safety and the deputy chief executive, Bobby Barnes said;
“We have reiterated that players are not just footballers but partners, fathers, mothers, sons, and daughters who share the same health concerns as everyone else during this pandemic.
“We have been assured of the intentions of all that there would be no resumption unless guarantees of safety could be given to the players. The overriding principle for all parties is the health and safety of all participants on and off the field and of course the wider public.”
