David Moyes believes Premier League players are 'nervous' behind the scenes at being exposed to Covid-19 and taking it home to their families.
Professional football has continued in the face of national lockdown in recent months, with the current high coronavirus rate not yet resulting in a shutdown of the calendar similar to that seen last March.
But with some players flouting strict Covid-regulations in recent weeks, there has been pressure on football authorities to re-iterate the rules - but West Ham boss Moyes opted to defend players and their mentality regarding the Covid situation when speaking before his team's win against Stockport on Monday.
