Across Europe, Different Thinking on Whether Leagues Can Resume

England is scrambling to find a solution to the billion-pound question: How to restart the Premier League?

However, the competition with the most to lose financially if the season is abandoned is unlikely to see a clear path forward if it looks across to its European counterparts.

The French and Dutch leagues have been canceled in the last week after orders from the government.

Players in Italy can train again from next month but the government has started to express unease about Serie A resuming.
