BREAKING:
#PL training sessions are set to be broadcast this season, with managers and players mic’d up and wearing cameras.
Currently, broadcasters are allowed training ground access around once per month, purely just to film footage that can be used to go alongside reporting and coverage.
However, under an amendment to Section K of the Premier League rules, each club must now grant the League’s production partner access to film a 30-minute ‘Enhanced Training Session’ featuring at least one player, along with the manager or a coach, who will be wired up for audio.

Diego Leon:
"Everyone thinks I'll go out on loan, but I don't have that mindset. I'm going to kill it in the preseason and within one or two games, I'll already be playing with them."
