While you’re on furlough
Once you are on furlough you will not be able to work for your employer. You can undertake training......

I doubt it's that straightforward. The training that is referred to in the guidance is intended to be a course or similar that would enable an employee to perform their duties better, once furloughing has ended. Training for footballers is a normal part of their job and is extremely unlikely to be covered by that definition, hence the question that Mr T refers to.
