"I can tell my players to adhere to the laws, adhere to be sensible around the training ground. We can follow the protocol every day, we can follow it on match day as well. "But the raw emotion of scoring a goal in that heat of the moment, you cannot control that. "Calm people might be able to score, think about it and say 'oh actually, yes, we have to be careful.' But if they are that worried about, it stop the game. Stop playing. "Everyone is being careful with the measures we are going to, to enable football to continue, because of the the importance of it in society and mental health and for people to be able to watch it on television is huge at the moment. I get that. "But some parts of it are really hard to contain and goal celebrations in that moment are difficult. It's hard to stop players shaking hands in the changing room in the heat of the moment. "With managers on the side lines, you go to fist pump and all of a sudden you are shaking hands - it's natural instinct. "We are all trying our best to do it but controlling goal celebrations is really tough"

Read More Related Articles What business can we expect from Swansea? Ahead of the Championship clash with Wycombe Wanderers last weekend, Steve Cooper issued the clearest message yet that he feels his squad is desperately lacking in certain areas. And while he wouldn't put a figure on the number of fresh faces he feels he still needs, it's blindingly obvious that Swansea have to bolster a few positions in the squad. A striker remains the priority, although, in an ideal world, they'd bring in two frontmen. It's understood Cooper is desperate to bring in a ready-made number nine as well as a back-up forward - similar to Sam Surridge last year - in the final days of the window. However, as things stand, it appears unlikely that he will bring in two strikers, although one remains a possibility. given that Cooper admitted in his latest press conference that the club are very much shopping in the loan and free agent markets. And, at present, Brighton's Viktor Gyokeres appears to be the most realistic option. The Swedish forward played in the Seagulls' Carabao Cup wins over Portsmouth and Preston, and the Swans are awaiting Graham Potter's decision on the 22-year-old. Viktor Gyokeres (Image: Alex Burstow/Getty Images) Meanwhile, having lost Mike van der Hoorn and Ben Wilmot in the summer, Swansea are incredibly light at centre-back.

"We are in the sense of information, hunting. I’ve been speaking to agents, clubs, seeing who is available. “We will not be signing anyone before the weekend that’s for sure. “From my perspective we could do with adding to the group, I always want options. “I want different types of wingers, centre forwards, No.10s. “I just feel maybe we could add to those options and it could benefit us”. Read More Related Articles What business can we expect from Swansea? Ahead of the Championship clash with Wycombe Wanderers last weekend, Steve Cooper issued the clearest message yet that he feels his squad is desperately lacking in certain areas. And while he wouldn't put a figure on the number of fresh faces he feels he still needs, it's blindingly obvious that Swansea have to bolster a few positions in the squad. A striker remains the priority, although, in an ideal world, they'd bring in two frontmen. It's understood Cooper is desperate to bring in a ready-made number nine as well as a back-up forward - similar to Sam Surridge last year - in the final days of the window. However, as things stand, it appears unlikely that he will bring in two strikers, although one remains a possibility. given that Cooper admitted in his latest press conference that the club are very much shopping in the loan and free agent markets. And, at present, Brighton's Viktor Gyokeres appears to be the most realistic option.
