West Ham midfielder Manuel Lanzini has stated that it would be insane to restart the Premier League season before a coronavirus vaccine is introduced.
The Argentine has begun light training alone just like his teammates ahead of a possible return to action in the coming weeks.
Lanzini seems baffled by the decision of the Premier League authorities to resume the 2019/2020 campaign without the availability of a vaccine.
Speaking to Argentine media: “To my mind, it would be madness for the Premier League to resume before there is a vaccine available to protect us.
“I obviously want to play once again, but you need to protect others. I would not start right now.”
The playmaker also claimed the prospect of flying to Australia to finish the season is just as silly.
In an interview in Argentina, he added: “I don’t think anything would change by going to another country.
“They can’t send us out onto the pitch as though nothing had happened. Players have to be protected.
“We have begun individual training this week. I get an hour to do the work the coach gives me.
“It is just me and a teammate, at a distance from one another. There are just one or two people at the club.
