guys, whats the status for pre season now with covid related schedule change?
PL starts soon 12/09/2020 in 5 weeks time.
We might still be playing CL games up to 19.08. or 23.08. if we get to semis or even final which would leave our squad with a 2.5-3 weeks time before PL.
We might get some extra time from FA/PL but that means we would have some really tricky fixture list later on because starting bit later wouldnt mean finishing later than the rest.
I assume the normal pre season training which focuses on fitness will not be needed as players are now at a very different fitness level and they some speicifc training for this in May before the comeback.
But is that enough to take us through from September until May, and then a Euro 2020 is scheduled too?
So what is the plan from the time we are done with CL? 1/2 weeks of holiday for the players and back to training?
