As long as you have 15 fit players... you will be deemed to have a squad fit enough to play': West Ham chief Karren Brady reveals details of plans for teams that are ravaged by coronavirus discussed during mammoth five hour Premier League meeting

Karren Brady has said that teams will be deemed ‘fit enough to play’, as long as clubs have 15 fit players in the event of a Covid-19 outbreak.

The vice-chairman at West Ham United was part of a mammoth five hour meeting on Thursday, as the green light was given to resume the Premier League on June 17.

A whole host of topics were discussed during the meeting with Premier League shareholders including what would happen if a team would see players come down with the coronavirus or have to self-isolate.
