Premier League clubs are imposing ‘emergency measures’ less than three weeks from the new season due to the worrying spate of Covid cases after the summer break.
Sportsmail has learned that clubs have, from this morning, been advised by the Premier League to impose stricter Covid guidelines in a bid to keep a lid on the increase in cases since the start of pre season.
The news was communicated to clubs over the previous 48 hours. The tough new rules are similar to the restrictions that accompanied Project Restart when football returned during the first Covid lockdown in the summer of 2020.
