During a video interview with Sky, the 27-year-old centre-back said:
The Premier League’s Project Restart plans have divided opinion among supporters and players, with many who do not believe it’s safe or morally right for football to resume during the coronavirus pandemic.
Over the past 24 hours, the UK recorded 3,446 new cases and an additional 428 coronavirus-related deaths. They are Europe’s worst-affected country, though many clubs are determined to come to an eventual conclusion and play out the rest of the 2019-20 season.
Wolves, who sat sixth in the EPL at the time of March’s unprecedented suspension, were five points off fourth-placed Chelsea in the Champions League places.
In addition, Nuno Espirito Santo’s side faced Greek side Olympiacos in their Europa League Round of 16 clash just a day before the Premier League’s plans to halt play were made official.
Despite being knocked out of the FA Cup by Manchester United in January, they were on course to finish the Premier League season strongly - facing just one side above them in their final nine games, rivals Chelsea.
Coady happy with Premier League’s handling of situation
Coady, who is Wolves’ only outfield player to have featured in every EPL minute so far this season, revealed his happiness at the way the situation is being handled.
He continued, revealing that all first-team players have a scheduled one-hour time slot to work as part of a group of four on each allocated training pitch.
Coady, who spent nine years with Premier League leaders Liverpool as a youngster, also revealed players will be tested for COVID-19 in the coming days and weeks.
They’re also not allowed in the building to minimise the risk of infection while the defender said players’ temperatures are taken upon arrival at the training ground.
