Desperate times call for desperate measures: French side Amiens make players sign waiver ahead of training return

Ligue 1 side Amiens SC have made their training facilities available to their squad – but there's a catch. The players will first have to sign a waiver absolving the club of any responsibility.

The waiver reads: "I release, in my capacity as a voluntary practitioner of the sporting activity, the club of Amiens SC of all responsibility, in the event of an accident of any nature, and renounce any legal rights against the club.

"[This] is not organised by the club. Field facilities are accessible to them [the players] during the de-escalation of quarantine."

The 2019/20 Ligue 1 campaign has been officially cancelled but the players will be allowed to return to group training in two months as the lockdown measures in France continue to be eased.

The 2019/20 La Liga season has been given the green light to resume its course from June 8 by the Spanish government.
