One Premier League side could be without five first team stars should the season restart due to concerns over their health. Over half of the top flight's 20 clubs have said they will not force players to play if they fear for themselves or their families.
And one team has had five players come out and say they do not want to be included, reports The Sun. Several clubs are aware that they will not have a full squad to pick from due to the safety concerns surrounding the coronavirus pandemic.
Dean Smith admitted last week that two of his Aston Villa players have pulled out for health reasons. It is the same story at Brighton with chief executive Paul Barber conceding two of their players have suggested they may not be involved.
