However, Newcastle United left-back Danny Rose has strongly criticised any plans for the league to recommence any time soon.

All 20 EPL clubs are said to have been sent a 40-page document outlining protocols for a possible resumption of group training next week.

It is understood players have received a condensed eight-page document from their union, the Professional Footballers' Association.

Life as a professional soccer player will be unrecognisable from before the coronavirus pandemic as they will be tested twice a week and subjected to a daily temperature check and questionnaire, the BBC reported.

If any player tests positive, with or without symptoms, they will be forced to self-isolate for seven days.

Once they are allowed in the training ground - where they must have travelled to individually - they will not be allowed to gather in communal areas and will not be fed.

Once on the pitch, tackling and contact will reportedly be banned for the first phase of team training while all equipment, including playing surfaces, will be disinfected.

Players, the PFA and UK government staff are reported to be meeting on Wednesday over safety issues surrounding a possible restart.

PFA chief executive Gordon Taylor is hopeful a resumption can happen if players are open-minded.

"If you're asking me, with the type of guarantees or assurances that would give confidence to the players, then (returning is) achievable," he said.

Rose in comments to rapper Don EE on Instagram on Tuesday slammed the resumption talk and said the focus in the UK should be on the health of its population.

"It's a f***ing joke. I'm not even going to lie," Rose told Lock'Don Live.

"The government is saying 'bring football back' because it is going to boost the nation's morale.

I don't give a f*** about the nation's morale, bro, people's lives are at risk."

Rose, on loan from Tottenham Hotspur to Newcastle United, said it was sad that people were getting sick.

"Football shouldn't even be spoken about coming back until the numbers have dropped massively," he said.

It's bollocks."

Player safety is arguably the biggest hurdle for "Project Restart" to overcome, followed by the opposition to playing out the season at neutral venues.

However, the possibility of the Premier League campaign being completed on a home-and-away basis appears to be an option.
