Players have resumed training in small groups of five, maintaining a two-metre distance at all times. In addition, the sessions are limited to just 75 minutes, with players also getting tested for coronavirus during the process. (h/t MEN)

Phase Two of Project Restart would see full-contact training resume, protocols of which will be discussed in the meeting on Wednesday. And Manchester United, among other shareholders, will be voting on the matter. (h/t MEN)

Culture secretary Oliver Dowden has handed further boost to the potential implementation of Phase Two. He claimed that the plans for full-contact training may even get approval from the government by the end of next week. (h/t MEN)

“I hope, subject to the sign-off by Public Health England and others, we will then later this week, very shortly, get the guidance about how we can have training in a contact environment, this is for elite sports, so they can start to build-up.”
