Gary Neville has accused Premier League bosses and clubs of being terrified to publicly back a return to action. The former Manchester United defender insists the game's powerbrokers are in hiding over rubberstamping their intent to bring back football behind closed doors.
Neville alluded to the nightmare scenario of a player or staff member falling seriously ill with COVID-19 after play has resumed breeding reluctance among decision makers.
So, far Brighton are the only top-flight club to speak out against "Project Restart", while Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero insists players are "scared" to get back on the pitch.
