- EFL accused of failing to consult clubs or their doctors

Several Championship clubs have angrily opposed the English Football League’s planned 20 June restart because of concerns that players will be more likely to sustain injuries as full-contact training has not yet resumed.
The Queens Park Rangers chief executive, Lee Hoos, raised the issue with the EFL chairman, Rick Parry, and accused the league of failing to canvas the opinion of its doctors’ working group or the clubs before it announced a provisional return date. Some teams requested at least four weeks’ training before the restart. The EFL has said it will continue dialogue with clubs this week.
