The Premier League have been soaring ahead with plans to complete the season under strict measures.
The whole plan to resume at all has been met with some opposition as some clubs don’t feel the competition should resume at all.
Many have pushed for ‘health first’ and the latest news from Brighton is not good for anyone at all particularly the Premier League.

Brighton have opposed the idea of re-starting the season from the onset and their CEO Paul Barber has now expressed his concerns and asked the FA to provide a full detailed plan of ‘Project Restart’
“It is a concern,” Paul Barber said to Sky Sports.
“Unfortunately we’ve had a third player test positive yesterday (Saturday, May 9), so despite all of the measures that we’ve been taking over the past few weeks, where the players haven’t been involved in any significant training at all, we’ve still suffered another player testing positive for the virus.”
“So there are concerns and I think it’s normal for all clubs to have those concerns. We want to make sure we do everything that we can to ensure those protocols are in place and are safe and secure and mitigate the risk as far as we can.”
“One of the things we’ve asked the Premier League for is a complete plan of all of the stages of returning to play,” Barber added.
“First we need to get players back training in small groups, then they need to get involved in some contact training and then training for a match before the match itself.
“So there are lots of stages, it’s very complex and there are people at the Premier League working very hard to produce detailed paperwork to move through those stages as safely as possible.”
