DBasia.news – Liverpool were forced to run strict protocols during training amid a corona virus pandemic. The club provides impromptu restrooms and showers on the training ground.

All of them were only given access on the training ground. If there is a “duty calls”, the club has prepared an impromptu toilet on the sidelines and even a bathroom for players.
“Since the beginning of the lockdown, we have been doing intense training at home. Now they have entered the next phase, namely individual training sessions, the players are given their respective fields under strict supervision. Sudden toilets and bathrooms have also been built on the field, so there is no who entered the building,” Liverpool physiotherapist Jose Luis Parada told Cadena Cope radio.
In addition, the players’ paths are also engineered in such a way that they do not meet one another. Virgil van Dijk et al. also given food and training costumes directly in each car.
“We have four or five courts, so we have five players who train for 45 minutes. They have been given their own schedules and come at different times. They are given street lights like at the airport.”
“The players just follow the instructions after getting out of the car, he immediately goes into the impromptu dressing room, then goes out to practice, run, and so on. When finished, he will walk through different paths to his car.”
“Fellow players will not meet with each other. They do not need to enter the building. After the player gets into the car, he has brought food and clothing to the house. Clothing used for training will be sent to their respective homes.”
