Yannick Bolasie reacts to not being able to train with Everton after Liverpool are granted permission to have families attend Chelsea game

Liverpool have been granted a special dispensation by the English Premier League to have the players’ families and some staff attend Wednesday’s game against Chelsea.

The Reds will be presented with their Premier League trophy at Stamford Bridge and are keen to have a little celebration to mark the occasion.

The coronavirus pandemic has prevented crowds from gathering at stadiums and the huge safety procedures were threatening to hinder Liverpool players and staff from celebrating with their loved ones.

Everton winger Yannick Bolasie hasn’t been able to train with his teammates at Finch Farm due to Government Guidelines, and the Premier League’s decision to allow Liverpool players celebrate with their families at Stamford Bridge has baffled him, leading him to react thus on Twitter:

And I still can’t train with my Team apparently due to Goverment Guidlines 42 days since I requested (133 days since I trained with teammates) @premierleague @BorisJohnson https://t.
