soche outcome of these talks which may decide whether the Premier League feel they can push on. Mirror Sport understands player welfare was a big topic of discussion in last Friday’s Premier League meeting and there is a growing feeling that it wir their families and also there are likely to be major question marks as to whether they would even be covered by insurance should they get coronavirus. Football clubs are unlikely to be covered and player contracts do not have any clauses for a force majeure which has left them exposed but the bigger worry is that if a family player becomes infected. Medics are not convinced players - despite being generally positive in public - are sure about resuming games and the likes of Sergio Aguero and Glenn Murray have already spoken up. Aguero said: “The majority of players are scared because they have family, they have children, they have babies, parents. "It does scare me but I have just been here with my girlfriend, I haven't had contact with other people and they say that to contract the disease is very rare and difficult but they say that there are people who have it, and they don't have symptoms and they can infect you. "That's why I've stayed at home. You can be infected and you don't know anything about it." Players will now be consulted through captains, PFA reps and the clubs and the outcome will be fed back with the Premier League likely to meet again on Friday, 24 hours after the Government’s latest lockdown update. That meeting is only likely to go ahead if the Government eases lockdown measures and there is a growing feeling that the whole restart may hinge on whether the players give the go-ahead as their feelings are at last likely to be heard.

UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin can see "no way" that Liverpool could finish the season without the Premier League title. Ceferin said on Monday that Liverpool would surely win the Premier League title if this season continues but if the coronavirus pandemic does cancel the remaining games then there would be no option to null and void the season. Jurgen Klopp's side are currently 25 points clear of second-placed Manchester City with eight games remaining. "I see no way for Liverpool to stay untitled. If the championship resumes, they will almost certainly win it - theoretically, it has not yet reached the guaranteed level, but it is practically close," Ceferin told Slovenian sports daily Ekipa. "However, if it could not be played, it would also be necessary to announce the results in some way and find some key on how the champions should be determined. And, of course, again I do not see a scenario in which that would not be Liverpool. "I understand that fans will be disappointed if it happens in an empty stadium or even at the green table, but I believe they will win the title one way or another." Ceferin says he is hopeful the leagues in Italy and Spain will also resume, the two countries are the most affected in Europe from COVID-19 so far. He added: "I'm an optimist. I am optimistic that we will see the conclusion of the Spanish championship, I am optimistic that we will see the conclusion of the Italian one, and I am optimistic in general. "Of course, I cannot guarantee anything, I cannot promise anything. It will all depend on the situation in the individual countries, it will all depend on whether the circumstances are good enough for you to avoid endangering anyone by playing football."
