​Crystal Palace shut down training ground

Crystal Palace has shut down its training ground until further notice.

The London club is taking the COVID-19 outbreak very seriously.

The base at Beckenham is shut, and non-essential personnel will be working from home.

It is in line with the latest advice from the UK government.

"We have closed our training ground as a precautionary measure for one week, with players being urged to stay at home and undertake personalised training plans," a statement read.

Sales of season tickets for the 2020-2021 season are also on hold.

The statement added: "Clearly our first concern is for all of you: supporters, staff and players, to make sure we do whatever we can to ensure you are as safe as possible.

"I am sure you will have already received information regarding the best steps you can take to protect yourself and others, and I urge everybody to follow these as best they can.

"It's so important we all take proactive, preventative measures to mitigate the spread of this virus and the strain on the health service."
