Premier League chiefs 'to be given emergency powers to slap £200,000 fines on stars who break lockdown restrictions and could even hand out POINTS DEDUCTIONS to repeat offenders'

Premier League chiefs will crack down on stars who break lockdown restrictions by handing them hefty fines and even points penalties, according to reports.

Top-flight officials are keen to prevent any glitches before and once Project Restart gets underway, which could come in the form of sloppy behaviour by clubs and players which could lead to a coronavirus spike.

And according to The Sun, emergency powers will be brought in to give the Premier League the power to dish out fines of around £200,000 for any offences to do with breaching lockdown restrictions.
