Chelsea squad could return to group training as early as May 19 | OneFootball

Chelsea are set to return to group training next week with a vote scheduled for Premier League clubs on Monday 18th May.

The Blues have allowed individuals to train alone at Stamford Bridge following the coronavirus, with the Blues not having played since March.

Now Frank Lampard’s side could be one step closer to returning to action as training among small groups is set to be given the go-ahead.

As per the Daily Mail, a vote will be held on Monday between the Premier League clubs on group training protocols, which is expected to be passed.

If it is given the green light, Lampard’s men will return to training as early as Tuesday or Wednesday. This includes shooting and ball work in groups of three and four, whilst adhering to the social distancing rules of two metres.

A return date for the 2019/20 to be completed has yet to be decided, with the initial June 12 restart date unlikely to be agreed on.

One further meeting is set to take place at the latter end of next week to discuss training in larger groups.
