Report: Premier League discussing plans to hold games in isolated camps

The Premier League could stage games in isolation during the summer months to wrap up the 2019-20 season, according to The Independent's Miguel Delaney.

Plans are reportedly being drawn up to televise each of the remaining 92 matches from central locations in the midlands and London. Players, coaches, and relevant staff would isolate themselves in designated World Cup-style camps and remain quarantined from the rest of the population, including their family members.

There's apparently hope the curve of the coronavirus will be flattened by June and July and that a more rigorous testing system will be in place, which is why the Premier League is willing to delay the season until then.

However, a source told Delaney that problems could arise if a player gets injured.

"Where does a player who does his cruciate or breaks his leg go after he's stretchered off?" the source said. "Hospitals will have much bigger concerns. The Premier League would almost have to have a private hospital blocked off."

The Premier League suspended all matches March 13 once it learned Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta and Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi tested positive for COVID-19. Both have since recovered.
