Premier League chief executive Richard Masters has said the 20 clubs are united in their desire to get the 2019/20 season back up and running, and that players and managers will have an important role in that return.
“In today's meeting, it was reiterated the Premier League and clubs absolutely recognise the COVID-19 pandemic puts football into context,”
Masters said.
“So many lives have been lost and so many others deeply affected.
“We are proud at the response to the pandemic that the Premier League, our clubs and our players have provided with vital support to communities and to the NHS and hopefully will continue to do so after matches recommence.
