Premier League players might be interviewed at half-time and cameras could placed in dressing rooms as part of the league's plans to revamp broadcasts in Project Restart.
Due to the lack of supporters able to attend matches if the league does restart in the coming months, the behind closed doors format has led to the broadcasters and game bosses looking at new, inventive ways to enhance the viewers experience.
According to The Sunday Times, topflight players and managers could partake in interviews both before a match and at half-time in order to provide fans watching at home more insight.
The ideology of half-time interviews at the top-level is not a new one, as several Champions League broadcasts interview managers at half-time of matches in the tunnel.
Current guidelines mean no live broadcasts of changing rooms can take place for player and staff discretion, however talks are in place to change that once matches restart.
Both Manchester City and Tottenham have experienced cameras inside their dressing room as part of their Amazon Prime documentaries.
Talks are also ongoing to see if cameras can be placed in different positions inside the stadium as there are no fan views to block and it could help to not expose the thousands of empty seats in each stadium.
All of these plans are being talked over in the hopes of the Premier League returning on June 12, with teams looking to resume training during May.
Premier League officials are expecting the UK government to ease up on the restrictions of the current lockdown enforced by the coronavirus pandemic.
However, the 'Project Restart' plans must be reviewed and approved by the government before any matches can be played.
Other discussions are ongoing regarding using a few neutral venues to complete the 2019/20 season and also lifting the law on the Saturday 3pm blackouts for broadcasting.
Despite this, The Sunday Times predicted that there is only a slim chance that the matches will be made free-to-air.
During matches, restrictions are also being prepped in order to keep the players and staff as safe as possible.
Potential guidelines could see a ban on spitting during a match and being able to use up to five substitutes to decrease the risk of injuries in a tight schedule.

Hope player's privacy and some intricate issues will not be harmed which may spark a controversy , having said that , the plan may be good to get fans more entertained as they stay glued to their TV sets following the live coverage of games

spitting & football is like swimming & breathing, as the swimmer must breathe when head is above water so the footballer must spit when needed. It'll be crazy to ban that.
