Jamie Redknapp

But this week's presentations to players and conversations with the government's deputy medical officer, Jonathan Van Tam, seem to have gone some way to convincing him.

This is just a small section of what he's had to say.

I'm the captain of a Premier League football team.

I'm not doing my job if I'm sitting back at home saying to the players, you win this game for me and I'm not doing anything.

Anyone that knows me knows I'm never scared of a challenge.

Anyone that knows me also knows that family is the most important thing for me.

I also think ultimately everyone knows this is happening.

This season is going to finish and you control the controllables.

He also says he intends to return to the training ground, although perhaps only for a meeting next week.

So Jamie Redknapp, he does sound a lot more convinced, doesn't he?

Which is great because, like I say, his concern is very understandable.

Is that reflected across the board, do you think?

Is that true of other players that you've spoken to?

Jamie Carragher, what do you think it is that's convinced players?

We've obviously seen Bundesliga have relative success in how that's gone so far.

Very few positive tests.

Do both those play a part?

Okay, so yesterday clubs voted for a return to contact training.

Today, another big one with items like neutral venues, the restart day and a schedule for how it will be played out all on the agenda.

Jamie Carragher, just on neutral venues, have you been surprised by what we've seen in Germany in terms of the results we've seen?
