Pressure builds on Premier League players: ‘F***ing play to get paid’ A team of reporters from The Athletic have pool resources to reveal how Premier League footballers are being pressured into returning to work during the Covid-19 crisis.

Representatives from the 20 Premier League clubs are due to meet on Friday to discuss the viability of restarting the 2019-20 season, a plan known as ‘Project Restart’. However, what’s made apparent by The Athletic is that many footballers have legitimate concerns about going back to their day job. Readers are told: Although many players are said to be “raring to go”, several top-flight players have registered concerns over the possibility of quarantining away from family for several months, particularly in the case of players whose wives are pregnant or who have elderly and vulnerable relatives that require their support. ▪️ Some stars say return...
