At two separate video conference meetings on Wednesday, players and managers were presented with the medical and testing protocols for the phased return of training. They were taken through the stages by the Premier League's medical officer Mark Gillett and medical expert Professor James Calder, chief executive Richard Masters and director of football Richard Garlick.
Players will be tested at least twice a week, including in the 48 hours before they are due to train, and have mini-medicals to check for underlying respiratory and cardiac issues before they return to training. Managers were told all team and coach meetings will continue to be done by video conference and all data and video recordings of training sessions are to be made available to the Premier League.
The football authorities, including the Premier League, are meeting the Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden on Thursday. The next Premier League shareholders' meeting is scheduled to take place next Monday.
