Robbie Savage questioned the ongoing ban over playing football during the UK government’s daily briefing. The 45-year-old former Manchester United, Leicester City and Derby County midfielder was chosen to ask a question on behalf of the media thanks to his role as a columnist for the Daily Mirror and a grass roots football coach.
Savage used his time to put his thoughts to Secretary of State Matt Hancock and Chief Medical Officer for England Chris Whitty, and chose to ask about the potential return of his beloved football.
While sports such as golf can now be played if guidelines are followed, football remains banned unless it is in small groups with members of the same household.
