Albion and their top-flight rivals have the green light to step things up in training.

The 20 Premier Premier League clubs voted unanimously today to move to the next stage of restarting the season.

Squads are now able to train as a group and engage in tackling while minimising any unnecessary close contact.

Players and staff will continue to be tested for Covid-19 twice a week.

A statement added: “The Premier League’s priority is the health and wellbeing of all participants.”
