Premier League players and managers express concerns that they are at risk of being BURNT OUT as top-flight officials are told to consider player welfare amid Covid surge in latest meeting

Premier League players and managers have told top-flight officials that footballers are being run into the ground.

Players and managers met top-flight officials on two separate zoom calls on Thursday to discuss the ongoing Covid crisis that has wreaked havoc to the fixture schedule.

Footballers used the meeting to forcefully inform Premier League officials of their major concerns over player welfare - particularly after the decision not to call a festive ‘circuit-breaker’ amid the worrying Covid surge that has gripped English football.

Managers also used the opportunity to press the issue of player welfare.
