The British government is keen for the Premier League season to resume in the hopes that it will lift the mood of a nation under stress due to the coronavirus pandemic, according to The Times.
The Premier League has been suspended since March 13, but there are plans to continue matches behind closed doors in an attempt to finish the current season.
The government is said to have shifted its views on the matter, and is now pushing for sporting events to get back on track to bring the public some positivity.
