Premier League players should wear face masks when football's lockdown is lifted, a medical expert has advised.
It has now been six weeks since a top-flight match was played, with the coronavirus crisis forcing sport to close its doors seemingly for the foreseeable future.
It has not yet been decided how the season will be concluded, if, or when, football is allowed to resume with the UK set for at least another three weeks in lockdown.
There are plans for remaining games to be staged behind closed doors at neutral venues, and with players believed to be at an increased risk of contracting the virus, a top epidemiologist has warned they will most likely have to wear face masks in effort to limit the spread.
