'People will be ripping them off... It is quite farcical': Brighton's Glenn Murray slams idea of wearing face masks when clubs return to full training and admits fears over rushing to restart Premier League season

Brighton's Glenn Murray said any suggestion players could wear masks during training was 'farcical' and he was similarly scathing about plans to quarantine players in hotels.

'We have got to look at the Premier League as the global brand it is and the reason it is that big is because of the quality of the players that are in it,' Murray said.

'To be hindering ourselves with face masks is going to be off-putting, it is not going to be natural, people will be ripping them off in games. It is quite farcical.
