ROMA: ZUBIRIA OUTLINES NEW SAFETY MEASURES AS PLAYERS RETURN TO INDIVIDUAL TRAINING

Ahead of their arrival at the club’s training centre, Chief Global Sporting Officer Manolo Zubiria spoke to Roma's official web site, to find out what changes and protocols the club have implemented to ensure the safety of all staff and players as their work resumes...

On Thursday the players will resume individual training: how has the club prepared for this latest stage?

“We have worked closely with experts from the Biomedical Campus, to have as much information as possible available to us about how to try to prevent any spread of Covid-19, and to understand how to implement those measures at our training centre. As a result we have worked on a precisely detailed protocol, one that has also been approved by Regione Lazio, the local authority.”

How will you control entrance into the training centre?

“There are three stations set up to measure the temperature and oxygen levels of anyone entering the complex, with one station dedicated exclusively for the use of players and coaching staff. Over the last couple of days we have begun with some medical assessments, without having any of the players come into contact with each other.

“We have reduced the number of people present at Trigoria as much as possible – even coach Fonseca has remained at home. From Thursday one of the staff will follow the players on the pitch. As a general rule, entrance at Trigoria will be permitted only to those absolutely necessary.”
