Premier League clubs working on ‘hotel lockdown plan’ to help restart season

The Mirror claim a number of clubs are discussing various ways of being able to safely resume playing, with all football currently suspended due to the coronavirus.

They report: “They believe the most likely is the hotel plan revealed in Mirror Sport last month where players are put into lockdown in nominated hotels for up to six weeks while the fixture list is finished.

“The home team will occupy one half of the hotel, the away team will then check in to play their game and that section of the hotel will be deep cleaned after they check out.”

There is currently no date set for when football may resume, though the Premier League are determined to complete the 2019-20 campaign when safe. The EFL are also attempting to complete their season across the Championship, League One and League Two.
