And that is one thing that they are worried about.
And I think in the current circumstances, when it comes to playing football, a contact sport, there is no way you can get rid of the risk.
Yes, you can test everyone and make sure that everyone tests negative for the virus.
But I think...
some players in the back of their minds, they're still going to be a bit worried about returning to football and also about the fact that after games they could be going back to their families and maybe passing the virus onto their families, which is why these plans are in place to keep the players sort of quarantined in hotels for the five, six, seven weeks that it's going to take to complete the season.
But then again,
Will some players not feel comfortable doing that, leaving their families and being away from them for that period of time during a pandemic?
These are all some of the complicated issues that have to be worked through.
That's a great question.
We've seen what happened.
I think the last football game we had was 56 days ago.
Was it Leicester against Aston Villa on a Monday?
And then two days later, when it became apparent that Mikel Arteta had tested positive, the Man City-Arsenal game was called off.
So are we going to get the same situation again where if somebody tests positive, then everything's going to stop again and we're going to be in limbo again?
I think we've seen this situation in Germany, for instance, when Cologne returned to training last week.
They tested all of their players.
Three of the players tested positive again.
They were sent home and put into self-isolation, but the rest of the squad have carried on training with some misgivings among the players.
But, you know, as you say, what will happen if this happens again, if a player fails a test?
These are, again, things that are being looked at, but we have this figure of 40,000 tests, which is how many tests?
