Albion have no target date for a return to Premier League action.

Richard Masters, the league’s chief executive, today played down reports that matches would resume on June 12.

That could ease concerns of players who are worried about a return to full contact football.

All 20 clubs have approved plans for non-contract training in small groups, starting this week.

Masters said today: "June 12 was a staging post. It wasn't a firm commitment and what we don't want to do is continue to move it around.

"We know there's a discussion to be had, it really depends on when we can start full contact training and we have a process to go through before we can get to that stage. Of course we've got to be flexible.

"Next week we are going to be discussing full contact training protocols for that.

"Once you know when you can start full contact training, and we have had a proper discussion with clubs about how much is required to create the fitness levels before they can start playing, we are then in a position to be able to confirm when the season start is."

Testing for coronavirus at top-flight clubs has taken place over the last two days, and will continue throughout the training period and the return to match action in a bid to make the environment as safe as possible for all concerned.

Masters confirmed the results from the first round of testing, conducted yesterday and today, would be back by 2pm on Tuesday.
