Ole Gunnar Solskjaer weighs into Premier League celebration debate

Solskjaer’s opposite number Jurgen Klopp was also asked about the celebrations issue in his media briefing.

The German said it was ‘difficult’ to ask players to be disciplined in the current climate, but that football was doing all it could to be responsible in not helping spread the virus.

“We are tested two or three times a week. We feel, between tests, there are days you can be infected. It can happen,” said Klopp. “People leave the bubble for private reasons. In our situation, it’s never spread. We [socially] distance in dressing rooms.

“We wish we knew more about the virus. We get information step by step. We are six or seven months into the pandemic, we’ve played for a while, celebrating [since we have been playing in the pandemic] and nothing has happened.

“We will just try. It is a difficult one but we all know about the situation. The boys, so far, have done an incredible job to be disciplined with all the things around the virus. They will do their best. It is difficult.”
