Club doctors are reported to have expressed concerns about the Premier League's Project Restart proposals, which aim to have clubs back training in small groups within the next two weeks.

The league hopes to have clubs returning to their training fields in preparation for a resumption of the 2019/20 season by May 18, with games planned to begin again in June behind closed doors.

However, it is believed that a number of club doctors are not happy with the proposals and have written to the league with questions over the safety of the plans.

At the last meeting of Premier League clubs and shareholders last Friday, doctors were asked to raise any concerns they had after proposals were put forward to all clubs. Since then, four doctors have reportedly been in touch with the league addressing issues they foresee with the plans.

The league is set to meet again on Monday, the day after the government issues an update on lockdown restrictions. This government guidance will give the league more of an understanding of how quickly they can put their plans in motion.

The proposals have been drawn up by Premier League medical advisor Dr Mark Gillett, following close consultation with other European leagues including La Liga in Spain and Bundesliga in Germany.

Any return to action will rely heavily on the availability of regular testing, which the Premier League would have to pay for and would only be done on the understanding it does not compromise the testing of key workers.

Meanwhile UEFA and FIFA's chief medical offers both had conflicting opinions regarding the safety of any plans to complete the current season.

Additionally, Monday's meeting will see clubs seek guidance on players who will soon be out of contract.

Watford currently have four players, Adrian Mariappa, Ben Foster, Heurelho Gomes and Jose Holebas, whose contracts expire at the end of next month.

FIFA have previously stated that they would allow for temporary extensions to allow anyone whose contracts end this summer to complete the seasons, but teams are believed to have received no further instructions regarding this matter.
