Mind your language! Midfielder Mount's message to Chelsea teammates

LONDON - When the Premier League returns in a week, there is one thing Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount underlines - the players will have to be especially careful of their language!

The Premier League will restart on June 17 after a three-month break because of the COVID-19 epidemic, with the fourth-placed Chelsea playing away to Aston Villa four days later.

Similar to Germany and Spain, the remaining games of the season will be played with no fans in the stadiums, and the broadcasters in England will allow viewers the possibility to watch the games with 'virtual' crowd noise or with the natural sound from the ground.

"It's going to be interesting playing in a stadium where you can hear absolutely everything," said Mount on the official Chelsea website.

"Overall I think it will be fine, but we may have to just be careful not to use any bad language," commented the England midfielder.

"We will have to be careful with the way we communicate on the pitch, whether that's telling players where to go or what to do on the ball," he added

Mount explained he had watched some Bundesliga games to see what it will be like to play games with no fans in the stands.

"It's very different and something we as players are not used to at all, but if it means we can get back to playing football, then that's great."
