The United States is the country hardest hit by the corona pandemic with more than 80,000 deaths and large parts of the country are still in "lockdown".

The major sports are trying to find ways to get started with the business again. These include MLS where the Swedes Gustav Svensson and Anton Tinnerholm play.

MLS has now produced a proposal that was sent out for referral to players and clubs where the plan is to start playing matches on June 22, writes sports news service The Athletic.

Two months

But then radical action is required. The idea is to gather players and leaders from the 26 teams in Orlando, Florida to play matches for two months. Family members are not allowed.

According to the plan, all teams would be reassembled on June 1 for three weeks of training, in the beginning individually in quarantine and only last week the whole team together.

Critical voices

But the proposal has encountered patrol. Critical anonymous sources that The Athletic talked to think that the pre-season training for the premiere becomes too short after almost three months without proper training. MLS only had to play two rounds before the season was blown off in March.

In addition, at least 1,000 players, executives and officials must be able to be tested regularly for the corona virus. It is unclear whether MLS can administer such extensive sampling and whether it would be ethically justifiable to do so when there is no test capacity in the care.

It is also not decided what kind of matches the MLS team would play, whether the matches should be included in regular series games or be a separate tournament pending the regular season can start later this fall.
