PREMIER LEAGUE stars may have to change in Portakabin­s as part of new safety protocols.

And clubs could also be ordered to use private planes to travel to away games rather than take a train or their team coach.

The safety measures are being discussed and will be presented at Thursday’s Premier League meeting, but there are concerns whether some grounds meet social-distancing guidelines.

Top-flight clubs will be told they have to bring their stadiums in line with new Government advice so the authoritie­s can deem them fit to be used. A thorough risk assessment report will be done on every game.

It could affect older stadiums like Goodison Park, Vicarage Road and Turf Moor with the clubs then being informed if they need any work done before
