Revealed: The subjects Sheffield United and fellow Premier League clubs will debate at latest meetings amidst Covid-19 pandemic
Sheffield United will join their fellow Premier League clubs in a vote on Wednesday, over proposals to return to contact training.
Clubs will then gather for a second meeting on Thursday, where Premier League chief executive Richard Masters has suggested "wider issues" will be debated - including a possible restart date.
The results of the latest round of coronavirus testing will be published on Wednesday, after players and staff were tested earlier in the week.
Players and managers are to be consulted on the proposals ahead of the 20 clubs meeting, as Project Restart plans continue to gather pace amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
It is expected that twice-weekly testing will continue rather than be ramped up further, and the proposals will include what to do in the event of a positive test once contact training has restarted.
Government guidelines on contact training stress the need for "meticulous, time and date sensitive, written records of player groups and interactions" to be kept to enable effective tracing should an individual test positive.
It is anticipated that clubs will gradually build up the level of contact, from 'clusters' of two to three players initially, through larger groups of four to 12 before a return to full team training, in line with Government guidance.
Thursday's meeting is expected to see further discussions about other sensitive subjects regarding the resumption of the league, including the idea of using neutral venues and how any games will be broadcast.
