Sports Radio 810 WHB: Peter Vermes talks virus testing and return to play

Could Major League Soccer be turning the corner in its bid for a safe return to competitive matches?

Sports Radio 810 WHB host Soren Petro seemed to think so after speaking with Sporting Kansas City Manager Peter Vermes during today's conference call with media.

In a candid and wide-ranging discussion, Vermes said Sporting has a plan in place to begin regular virus testing for players, an instrumental step for all MLS clubs in order to progress from voluntary individual workouts to small group trainings and eventually to full-sided practices and games.

"All of our players and staff will be taking tests to see if they actually have the virus," Vermes said.
