Players should not be paid if they refuse to train says Premier League club official

If players refuse to return to the training, they will not receive their pay, claimed a senior official at a Premier League club.

20 clubs agreed that players can start training in small groups under strictly controlled conditions, at their shareholders’ meeting Monday.

One club official told Sky Sports News, if players are concerned and don’t want to practice, then teams shouldn’t pay their salaries.

“I don’t really think they should get paid.” said the club official. “We are not actually exactly what the case is under their contracts.”

“If you ask people on the street to train and play football against people being tested twice a week, if you were going to do it for £60,000 a week, they would all say yes. It makes me very cross.”
