Premier League clubs are set to scale back the training regimes of their isolated players amid the acceptance that it will be months rather than weeks before football resumes.

Sportsmail has learned that some clubs are now preparing for a ‘close season’ period during which players will be encouraged to combine rest with light exercise, as they would normally between the end of one campaign and the beginning of pre-season.

At present, top-flight stars are still working to the routines they were assigned when it was hoped that the current season could be played out in the coming weeks.
