Premier League clubs head into two crucial days of squad meetings amid a flurry of worried WhatsApp texts from players ahead of Project Restart.
Hope of restarting the season were given a major boost on Monday after the Government gave the green light for elite sport to resume behind-closed-doors from June 1.
But player welfare remains one of the most significant obstacles to clubs returning to small group training on Monday and playing Premier League matches from June 12.
Clubs will hold video conference calls with their players over the next 48 hours, during which squads will be shown a presentation regarding the required protocol to complete the season.
