Leeds United have been ordered to install AstroTurf on the Elland Road steps amid fears they present a slip hazard and could cause injury to opposition players.
The Premier League are understood to have raised the alarm over visiting stars tripping and falling between the Yorkshire club’s temporary away dressing rooms and the pitch.
Because of the pandemic, visiting sides are getting changed in former bar and hospitality areas behind the goal in the Norman Hunter Stand, and are showering in temporary cabins on the car park.
Their route to the pitch takes them down a number of steps through the stand.
