How the Premier League is planning PROJECT RESTART as clubs return to training

The Premier League will ramp up their plans to finally resume the season this week ahead of a crunch shareholders' meeting on Friday.

Dubbed 'Project Restart', the plans would see top-flight football return behind closed doors on June 8 following a three-month break because of the coronavirus crisis.

Officials hope that that the season can be concluded by the end of July, ensuring the title winners, European spots and relegation places are all decided as normal.

The plans would also mean that the Premier League avoid paying a huge rebate of £762million to Sky, BT and overseas TV broadcasters, which would have been due had the campaign not been finished.
