Harry Kane: Premier League captains waiting on safety guidance before ‘Project Restart’ decision
Updated government guidelines have bolstered hopes of a mooted June 12 resumption
England captain Harry Kane says players are awaiting safety guidance from the Premier League before making their minds up about a possible return to competitive action next month.
Updated government guidelines have bolstered hopes of a mooted June 12 resumption but there is plenty of work to do around ensuring games can be played in a safe environment.
Speaking on Good Morning Britain, the Tottenham striker said: “I don’t think anyone knows the right answer at the moment. I think the majority of players are looking forward to playing again as soon as possible but we know we want it to be as safe as possible too.
“From what I have heard – obviously I haven’t seen too much of my team-mates – at the moment everyone is OK. We want to see how the Premier League gives us a plan and what that looks like. I guess we just go from there.
“Me personally, I am happy to start training in small groups if that is allowed and just trying to get back to some normality as soon as possible. I guess everyone is different and has their own personal view.” PA
