Also, the football leagues around the world have been suspended and players are falling out of form. This means, many of them will resume unfit, and this may lead to many players getting injured in the first week or second week when the league resumes.
During the season, players get adequate exercises, they practice often and they manage to be in top form; but now, a lot of them are at home sleeping and eating more than they exercise to be fit.
If football was to be restored today, many players may need more than a month of practice before they are back in form. Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne shares his views on what it will take for football to start again ”
“Normally you’d need preparation of three to four weeks. If we restart immediately then everybody will be injured after a few games.
“I know that there’s lots of money involved. But I think that waiting so long to make a decision can cause issues next season.
A lot of players are struggling to stay in form, even though they try to work out while on holiday they are eating just as much. As a result, the premier league may need to cancel the 2019/2020 premier league season and give players a long preseason for the year 2020.
