Wilder will respect decision of Sheffield players on restart

As the Premier League pushes forward with its Project Restart, targeting a return in June, a number of players have expressed concerns that they might be exposed to coronavirus as discussions over medical protocols continue.

But speaking on beIN Sports, Blades boss Wilder said he would listen to any of his players who did not want to play.

"If any individual player took that decision and came to me and said, 'It's not for me,' I'd respect that," Wilder said.

However, Wilder said it was important to wait for all the information before making any decisions.

"One of the slightly disappointing things is that people have taken a line on their position in the division," he said. I think we've got to look at the bigger picture."
