EXCLUSIVEPremier League set to broadcast training sessions with managers and players mic'd up and wearing cameras in latest TV coverage innovation

Premier League training sessions – with managers and players mic’d up and wearing cameras – are set to be broadcast this season.

Mail Sport understands clubs have agreed to throw open their practice facility doors at least once per campaign, with film crews capturing previously unseen footage from behind-the-scenes.

In January, we revealed how clubs were to green light players wearing body cams during warm-ups and walkouts, filming from inside dressing rooms, half-time interviews with a player, manager or coach and chats with players have been substituted.

And now, top-flight sides have agreed to go a step further in a move which will allow viewers to see the how the game’s top stars and their coaches prepare for matches.
