The Argentine said that playing without fans implies a series of challenges. Preparations at the squad level are the same as for any other match but he also said that individually one has to train and get mentally prepared to play without people because it is very weird. The 32-year-old also said that it will be like starting over as technically it will be the same season but all teams and players will experience it differently.&nbsp;&nbsp;

On a day where English Premier League clubs unanimously voted to resume&nbsp;contact training,&nbsp;Manchester City players continued with isolated practice&nbsp;sessions on Wednesday.&nbsp;The likes of Raheem Sterling,&nbsp;Ilkay Gundogan, Fernandinho,&nbsp;Nicolas Otamendi&nbsp;and others&nbsp;took part in fitness exercises and individual work, while manager Pep Guardiola watched on wearing a face mask.

However, it is likely to be postponed due to the coronavirus&nbsp;pandemic.

After a week of non-contact training as Premier League clubs are preparing for a potential comeback by next month, the UK government has approved the close contact training&nbsp;for elite sports athletes. While this marks the beginning of phase two and takes the preparation one step ahead towards the resumption of sports, the officials have also published guidelines to ensure the safety of athletes amid the pandemic scare. The close-contact training will be taken&nbsp;forward in proper medical supervision following all safety measures.

Celebrate a goal, but refrain from hugging each other. That's the official rule from now on in football leagues which have restarted in the times of pandemic.&nbsp;English footballer Jadon&nbsp;Sancho&nbsp;who plays in the Bundesliga scored a goal for Borussia&nbsp;Dortmund that helped them register a 2-0 win against Wolfsburg. Goal celebrations were fine until Sancho&nbsp;ran to hug his teammates. Sancho&nbsp;got reprimanded by the&nbsp;German football officials and he received a warning for the same.&nbsp;
