Wolves adopts do it yourself as training opens May 11

Wolves’ first-team players will return to the training ground next week for individual sessions and fitness training.

Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo, together with players Ruben Neves, Leander Dendoncker, Ruben Vinaigre and Joao Moutinho, are due to report back for training next Monday (May 11).

Strict social distancing measures will be in place even as players have been told to be ready to wash their kits.  The operation wash your kits directive may not be unconnected with the need to reduce cost even as premier league clubs worry about financial implication of the covid-19 pandemic that forced all sporting outfits to close shop.

Arsenal were the first Premier League club to welcome back members of their first-team squad, on April 27. Their players have been allowed to return to their London Colney training ground, but will continue to train individually in accordance with government health guidelines.

Tottenham and West Ham have also opened their training grounds with strict conditions in place, while Brighton, Crystal Palace, Sheffield United are expected to return to their various bases this week.

All 20 Premier League clubs remain committed to finishing the current season, but it emerged this will only be possible if eight to 10 neutral venues are used to play the remaining fixtures.

The ‘Project Restart’ document was top of the agenda in the latest conference call on Friday, while the next meeting is set to take place after the UK government’s next review of lockdown measures on Thursday (May 7).
