Premier League clubs are targeting a return to training on May 9 as English football bids to get back underway, according to reports.

Managers across the top flight are said to have held talks with players about plans to get back to the training pitch ahead of a proposed restart to the season following over a month of suspension due to coronavirus, the Sun reports.
