Premier League stars 'will have to wear masks or snoods, balls and equipment will be disinfected and spitting will be banned' in strict new training rules being sent to EVERY club as officials ramp up Project Restart

Every Premier League player will need to wear a mask or snood in training and all balls will be disinfected as part of strict new rules, according to The Mirror.

Officials are planning to resume top-flight football on June 8, but only if plans for Project Restart are approved and signed-off by the Government.

Safely returning to training in groups is a major part of that, with a new seven-page document of draconian regulations reportedly set to be sent out to every club.

Arsenal and Tottenham are among the clubs to have reopened their training grounds for individual sessions, but the new rules will be put in place to ensure players can mingle without the risk of spreading coronavirus.
