Chelsea boss Frank Lampard admitted that 'safety has to come first' for players and staff in the lead up to resuming the Premier League season.
Despite being pleased to have players returning to the training ground in Phase One of Project Restart, Lampard accepted that it was not going to be a quick fix for clubs to emerge from the hiatus caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
Sportsmail exclusively revealed last week that N'Golo Kante opted out of training on Wednesday over safety fears and while there is an appetite to see games return and the season concluded, Lampard said safety beats everything else.
