Premier League: Liverpool's Jordan Henderson concerned about player welfare amid spike in COVID-19 cases

Firstpost  

The Premier League announced on Monday its intention to continue with the scheduled matches over the traditionally busy Christmas and New Year period, despite more than 90 confirmed coronavirus cases among players and staff in the last week. London: Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson fears player welfare is too low down the list of football’s priorities as the English game continues to grapple with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. “I am concerned that nobody really takes player welfare seriously.” Liverpool were without a number of key players for their 2-2 draw at Tottenham Hotspur last weekend, including Virgil van Dijk, Fabinho and Thiago Alcantara. “We will try to have conversations in the background and try to have some sort of influence going forward, but at the minute I don’t feel the players get the respect they deserve in terms of having somebody being able to speak for them independently and having the power to say actually this isn’t right for player welfare.” Read all the Latest News, Trending News, Cricket News, Bollywood News, India News and Entertainment News here.
