Liverpool to resume group training next week over video link

The coronavirus pandemic has made social distancing more of a compulsion rather than a choice. Following the suspension of the league, Liverpool decided to close down Melwood and asked players to go into self-isolation.

Players were given individual programs to follow during their times in isolation. The club is keen to ensure that the players are in the best physical and mental condition when the season resumes.

Liverpool are keen to resume group training next week with one twist. It will be over a video link. According to the Daily Star, first-team stars will train together from their homes via video link as the Reds prepare for their return to action.

According to the report, group sessions will begin next week. The coaching staff will lead the whole squad in exercises and workout routines at their home gyms.

The league remains suspended until April 30 at the earliest. There is no guarantee that matches will resume immediately after the date given the situation across the world and particularly in England.

There have been calls from some quarters to void the current season. However, the Premier League clubs remain determined to finish the current season even if it is at the extent of having to postpone the next one.

With the club 25 points clear at the top, we are unlikely to disagree with the point. Liverpool need just six more points from nine remaining games and being denied the title in spite of such a commanding lead will be unjust.
