Coronavirus: Khoza confirms talks with government over resumption of PSL season

PSL chairman Dr Irvin Khoza has confirmed talks between the league and the South African government over the resumption of the 2019/20 season.

The season is currently suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic, and with the country on Level 4 lockdown, teams are still not allowed to return to the training pitch and therefore matches cannot be played until it is safe to do so.

According to Khoza, Fifa has issued a directive for football to go ahead but he said there is a condition attached to it, that the leagues must be given permission by their respective government departments of health.
