More About the Premier League
All the clubs gathered not so long ago and had an anonymous vote, about continuing the Premier League games. They decided to 'return to the training protocol,' and the Premier League announced after that, that four of the players are three members of the staff from different clubs tested positive for COVID - 19.
Denney was one of the star players who publically concerned about the possible delay of the Premier League returning, so now he believes that other football players may be fearful of talking about their concerns.
