Brighton striker Glenn Murray has voiced doubts over the proposed Premier League restart. AFP/Glyn KIRKLONDON: Brighton striker Glenn Murray has described as"farcical" a proposal that Premier League players should wear face masks to combat the coronavirus when they return to training.

But players will need to come into closer contact with each other once they are preparing for matches and reports this week said the Premier League could ask them to wear protective masks during practice sessions. "To be hindering ourselves with face masks is going to be off-putting, it is not going to be natural, people will be ripping them off in games. It is quite farcical."Murray is frustrated by the rush to return to action at a time when the French and Dutch campaigns have been abandoned.

"There will be ambulances at training and games. Is it fair to take those from the NHS ? I don't know," he said."We are not talking about guys in one community, we are talking about guys from all over the world who could be possibly carrying the disease," he said."There are so many caveats."
