Football supporters and sports fans will be back in stadiums within weeks under Government plans to test how coronavirus spreads in crowds, once people have been vaccinated or tested.
Sports fans will be given the chance to have their fix of live action ahead of the Government's target date for the return of supporters on May 17, in return for participating in the mass trials.
Sportsmail understands the Government has already approached the Premier League, EFL and other sports to ask if they will be part of trials, which are set to begin in April - which is just five weeks away.
