Premier League players will be subjected to strict testing and even firmer social distancing measures if they are to return to training.

Captains discussed health guidelines concerns yesterday with the league and medical experts yesterday.

A decision on whether training in small group resumes next week could be made at the next Prem meeting on Monday.

All 20 clubs are reported to have been sent a 40-page document outlining protocols for a possible resumption of group training next week.

It is understood players have received a condensed eight-page document from the Professional Footballers’ Association.

Albion are giving players the chance to express thoughts over the return and are aware there will be concerns.

Players will be tested twice a week and subjected to a daily temperature check and questionnaire.

If any player tests positive, with or without symptoms, they will self-isolate for seven days.

Once they are allowed in the training ground - which they must have travelled to individually - they will not be allowed to gather in communal areas and will not be fed.

Medical staff and physios must wear PPE when treating players, while data will be kept on record and sent to the Premier League.

Tackling and contact will reportedly be banned for the first phase of team training while all equipment, including playing surfaces, will be disinfected.

PFA chief executive Gordon Taylor is hopeful a resumption can happen, if players are open-minded.

He said: “We’ve got to try it, see it if we can do it and see if we can return to some form of activity.

“But it’s also being as careful and having as many assurances as possible that it’s achievable.

“We have to be open-minded. There’s a balance between what you hope can be done and what is realistic to achieve.”

Player safety is arguably the biggest hurdle for Project Restart to overcome, followed by the opposition to playing out the season at neutral venues.
