A growing number of Premier League players don't want to return to matches while the COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing.

One source at a Premier League club told ESPN: "A lot of players are very uncomfortable with coming back.

"The only way the league takes this seriously is when someone at a club dies. We will look back on this time with sadness in the future."

Unlike leagues in Italy, Spain and Germany, the Premier League has not announced any kind of protocol for players to return to training.
