Liverpool: Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has expressed his happiness over the prospect of returning to training ahead of proposed Premier League restart next month.
All football in England has been suspended since March as a precautionary measure against the spread of coronavirus pandemic and authorities are targetting mid-June as a possible date to resume the league.
Players have been currently training individually, following all social distancing norms, but they will soon be able to train in small groups and Kloop expressed his happiness regarding the same.
‘ I was over the moon, I would say. I couldn’t wait for a while now, so I am really happy that we are able to do this again – going back to Melwood, having small group training and stuff like this,’ Klopp said in a video uploaded on Liverpool’s Twitter handle.
‘It will be intense, for the coaches especially because a lot of players in small groups means a lot of sessions, but we’ve had enough time to rest so we will be fine.’
Klopp also gave an insight as to how the players will be approaching training initially. He stated passing and movement will be worked on extensively before they can go ahead with practising other aspects of the game.
