Despite Premier League clubs voting to return to small group training last Tuesday, there remains a number of risks and issues attached to football's Project Restart plan.
With concerns of an increased risk of injury after months of inactivity along with the strict health protocols to stop further spread of coronavirus, getting to the stage of resuming the season is not without red tape.
Sportsmail exclusively revealed how Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante decided to opt out of Chelsea training from Wednesday due to health concerns. Watford captain Troy Deeney had earlier revealed he would not go back to training as he did not want to put his son at risk.
