London, May 13 (SocialNews.XYZ) Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson said that he is happy to get back to work whenever the Premier League restarts. Newcastle United defender Danny Rose and Manchester City stars Sergio Aguero and Raheem Sterling are among players who have publicly expressed concern if the league is to restart before a definitive solution is found to the coronavirus situation.
At 72 years of age, Hodgson is the oldest manager in the league but he said he has no qualms of returning.
"Yes. No concerns. Age is age. It's how you feel really. Your age doesn't necessarily relate to your fitness or how you're feeling, or your capacity to do a job," the former England manager told beIN SPORTS.
"So I have no qualms whatsoever," he said. "When I'm called back to work I shall be very happy to go back to work."
Hodgson however acknowledged that there may be players from his own team itself who would be apprehensive of playing and the club would understand them. "This is going to be a matter for the individual and a matter for the club at the end of the day," Hodgson said.
"I would be very surprised, knowing my club and Steve Parish as I do, that he would not be sympathetic to a player that came and said: 'Look, I have serious reservations about playing'."
