Premier League managers have been asked to keep pre-match meetings brief.
Premier League Managers have been asked the time spent in the dressing room when football resumes.
English football is set to resume on June 17 after a three months unexpected break caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
The resumption will see new directives set in line with health and safety protocols given by the government in minimizing risks of spread of the novel.
Another directive provided is that managers will be required to keep the pre-match meetings to 15 minutes when the season restarts.
These protocols in the dressing rooms has been one of the biggest issues for match preparations in the Premier League’s Project Restart.
Another guideline will be on travel – squads will be asked to travel on the match day. It means the routine of a pre-match meal for squads, usually at the team hotel, will need altering, particularly if players face a long journey on the morning of their fixture.
Proposals, which have to be ratified, include ensuring squads are not all congregating together in dressing rooms for more than 15 minutes at a time. Should they need to enter the dressing room for treatment or personal instructions, it would be on a shift basis to maintain social distancing.
