Premier League stars 'are worried they will not be treated properly for injuries' due to 15-minute time limit included in new coronavirus training guidelines

Premier League players are concerned that the new social distancing measures outlined in phase one of football's return will mean they are unable to receive adequate treatment from medical staff.

Premier League captains - including Jordan Henderson, Harry Maguire, Cesar Azpilicueta, Mark Noble, and Troy Deeney - had a video conference call on Wednesday with league bosses, the PFA and Government officials to discuss player welfare amid Project Restart talks.

According to The Telegraph, the proposed social distancing guidelines outlined will only allow players 15 minutes of 'essential recovery/therapies' after training, before leaving to head home.
