FAI advises clubs to cancel training

In the absence of an outright ban on training, one source said there was “some confusion” on the issue.

The FAI have strongly advised that collective training should not take place for the period covered by the suspension of football in Ireland.

However, in the absence of an outright ban on training – and amid what one source described as “some confusion” on the issue - League of Ireland clubs appear to be deciding on an individual basis whether or not to follow the recommendation.
