Testing proposals to be put to clubs
FIFA Medical Committee chairman Dr Michel D’Hooghe says health must be the priority when decisions are made about the resumption of football
Clubs will also be presented with proposals to test players and officials at least twice a week, subject to government approval.
The proposals have been drafted by Premier League medical advisor Dr Mark Gillett, following close consultation with other European leagues, including La Liga in Spain and Bundesliga in Germany.
But testing will only be done on the understanding it does not compromise the testing of key workers during the coronavirus pandemic.
The tests will be paid for by the Premier League and privately sourced, so it does not take any resources from public health needs
