As part of Project Restart's plan to get the Premier League season back up and running, players will reportedly be 'encouraged to war masks or a snood' to protect themselves from the spread of coronavirus.
The COVID-19 pandemic has seen all professional football in England suspended since mid-March but with plans for increased testing and stringent health measures, masks and snoods could become a key part of players returning to training, according to ITV News.
A document of drafted proposals to safeguard players and staff members working around football, seen by ITV, has reportedly been sent round to players ahead of a meeting on a Wednesday.
Every player would have to be tested for the novel coronavirus 48 hours before they planned to train under the new guidelines.
If a player tests positive and is showing symptoms of COVID-19 then they would be made to quarantine away from the squad for seven days before then being retested upon their return.

I suggest every team should be logged in a hotel, one team one hotel... Shut down the hotels for two months, only for the players and staffs... Then start testing them one after the other before they enter the hotel, they will remain there till seasons are over, after every match, they all walk straight to the hotels without touching anybody or signing autographs, I think that will help us finish the season... Can't wait to watch fernandes and pogba play together
