the thing is that all football players are young. they are in a safe catogary for serious illness. all this isolation they are forced to do if they even have a mild case which will be the majority of cases does not help the matter. there is bound to be a PFA legal challenge by any change of a players contract without the players permission. the same will happen outside the game when or if this happens. its football we are on about not healthcare or care home workers.
