Players in the English Premier League are due to be tested twice weekly for coronavirus.

Reports say the tests will be carried out from the start of training to the return of the League.

The doctors at the elite clubs have hatched the safety plan to be prepared for the green light to return to training and eventually play, reports the Sun.

The twice a week tests will amount to about 18-tests-per-player over the scheduled nine-week period of training and then playing.

According to reports the Premier League are planning on funding over 10,000 tests between the start of training and the end of the playing season.

The move seeks to ensure that there are no victims of the virus in the League.

The Premier League is planning to return on June 8, with clubs sent a proposed new timetable to finish the season despite the coronavirus pandemic, report says.
