SHAH ALAM, Feb 17 — Selangor FC has started its training session for the 2021 Malaysian League (M-League) season on Monday after fulfilling the conditions set by the Malaysian Football League (MFL).
Its chief executive officer Dr Johan Kamal Hamidon said its players and officials were sent for Covid-19 screening test on Saturday and a sanitisation process was held at the training ground here.
“Aside from that, the Selangor team had also quarantined its players at their respective homes, unlike other teams where their players are placed at centralised camps.
“Therefore, all players need to know their responsibilities and abide by the standard operating procedure (SOP) as we do not want problems to arise in the future,” he told SelangorKini.
As an additional precautionary measure, Dr Johan said players and officials must undergo weekly screening to curb the spread of Covid-19 within the team.
On February 9, Senior Minister (Security) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob had announced that the M-League, Malaysian Hockey League (MHL) and Sepak Takraw League (STL) teams are allowed to begin training.
Ismail Sabri said players must be quarantined at a camp or residence set by their respective teams and would not be allowed to go out or socialise with outsiders.
