Players face prospect of being put into hotel quarantine once football returns as Premier League and EFL plan to condense the season

Footballers face the prospect of being put in strict hotel quarantine once the game restarts.

The idea, which will effectively see players live away from their families, is under consideration and is set to be discussed during the next round of talks between English football’s major stakeholders as they try to devise a plan to get the season completed.

The remaining games of the season in the Premier League and EFL are likely to be condensed into a very short period of time, particularly if they are to complete the season by June 30, which clubs are desperate to do to avoid a host of contractual and legal complications.
