English Premier League clubs are holding talks today, Friday, on how to end the current season, while Manchester City Argentine Sergio Aguero announced that the players are afraid to resume playing due to the outbreak of the new Corona virus.
Elite clubs face losses estimated at about one billion pounds ($ 1.25 billion) if the season is not completed due to the "Covid-19" epidemic.
Running the remaining 92 matches will reduce the losses and thus avoid returning hundreds of millions to the transport companies.
Under the leadership of German coach Juergen Klopp, Liverpool stand close to winning the title for the first time in 30 years, in addition to several problems that must be resolved, including qualifying for the Champions League and the issue of club relegation.
The Premier League is also facing huge logistical difficulties in its attempt to return to the activity that was halted on March 13 due to the outbreak of the "Covid-19" epidemic, knowing that Britain is one of the countries with the most casualties.
"Of course, the majority of the players are afraid because they have children and families," Aguero said in an interview with the Argentine "El Sheringito" network.
"If we go back, I am sure everyone will be nervous in the moment when someone will feel sick and will say" What is going on here? "
The players will face absence for several weeks from their families, where they will be subjected to quarantine in hotels, said veteran Brighton striker Glenn Murray In this regard, "I hope we will not reach this scenario. It is difficult to obtain, that spending 8 weeks away from your family is a big task. "
Murray also described the idea of players wearing masks during matches as" a farce. "
For her part, former Portuguese physician Chelsea club Eva Carneiro told BBC News: "If football returns to life, the tests will be very important, with additional doses of training required."
"It takes one (discovery) case for everything to get blown by the wind," she warned.
