The Premier League teams have received a news that generates a lot of concern and that, for many, goes against the advances that have been made in Great Britain during the pandemic.
This Wednesday it became known that the Premier League has told its clubs that they must return to social distancing in the dressing rooms, which has left includes cafeterias, hydration points and even parking lots.
The idea threatens to create a division less than three weeks before the start of the new season, as the decision seems inconsistent with the advances in the country and it would not be so easy to apply with the fans ready to return to the stadiums. Clubs fear a logistical nightmare.
Some have even already informed the league that they have no intention of returning to last year’s arrangements, while others have pointed out that it would be ‘impossible’ to do so given the return of the fans, according to information from the Daily Mail.
And is that many clubs with old stadiums had to make new arrangements last season. For example, Manchester United and Everton created temporary facilities for visiting teams off their grounds, Aston Villa had their rivals use the press room and in Leeds, the visiting team used a bar area, while Chelsea hosted their opponents in a nearby leisure center. Nobody wants to go back to those complexities, less when there will be thousands of fans in the stands.
The media announced that the clubs are preparing letters to the Premier League, in which they reject the proposal. It is worth remembering that the new season begins on August 14.
