Players perfect art of killing time in problematic preseason

Balancing isolation with preparation the challenge for Super League teams

Traveling across the globe, constant rescheduling and multiple quarantine periods while worrying about loved ones back home－it's safe to say life has been more than a little stressful for Chinese Super League players in recent months.

At the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak in January, clubs sought safe places to train abroad. However, as the epidemic became a pandemic, CSL teams began to return home.

It's still not clear when the CSL season will start but, with the spread of the coronavirus now under control in China, the priority for clubs is keeping their players as prepared as possible for kick-off.
