Arsenal Football Club announced that its players will be allowed to return to the training center starting next week, stressing that this will be done through strict respect for health guidelines aimed at combating the outbreak of the Corona virus, including social divergence.
"Players will be allowed to enter the London Colnay Training Center stadiums next week," a London club spokesman said, but added, "Their entry will remain limited and carefully managed and the social distance will be maintained at all times."
"All the Kulnay buildings will remain closed. The players will arrive on their own, carry out their individual exercises and then go home."
Arsenal this week became the first Premier League team to reach an agreement with its players to cut their salaries as its stars and Spanish coach Mikel Arteta agreed to cut it by 12.5 percent.
The London club explained that this reduction will be in effect from the current April, even if "the contractual documents must be settled in the coming days."
But he stressed that players will have the ability to recover the money that they will give up by "achieving certain goals in the coming seasons."
And the English media revealed in recent days that the players agreed to cut salaries only in exchange for a money back guarantee and an estimated bonus of 100,000 pounds (114,000 euros) for each player if they qualified for the Champions League.
She explained that if they qualify for the European Europa League competition, the value of the salary cut will be reduced to 7.5 percent.
And the newspaper "The Times" announced today, Saturday, that the English Premier League is planning to resume the season, which has been suspended for several weeks because of the Covid-19 virus, on the eighth of next June and without an audience.
