VIDEO: Crystal Palace begin contact training

The Premier League has been suspended since the middle of March due to the coronavirus pandemic. The league will get back underway on 17th June.  

Last week, clubs were given permission to begin contact training including tackling. Therefore, Crystal Palace have now begun doing this in preparation for the restart. The training session involved passing practice after splitting the team into two. There are no known cases of coronavirus at the club although some sides have decided to keep the results private.

Crystal Palace beat Watford 1-0 just before the coronavirus break and their next fixture is at away to Bournemouth. Roy Hodgson's men are currently 11th in the league and just four points off a Europa League spot.
