Smith: Aston Villa could be without two players if Premier League restarts

Dean Smith says Aston Villa could be without two players if the Premier League season is able to resume.

Football remains suspended in England amid the coronavirus pandemic, although the Premier League has been looking at ways to get back playing as part of a plan they have termed "Project Restart".

Matches played behind closed doors and possibly at neutral venues have been discussed with the league tentatively looking at a return date of June 8, though government approval is still needed.

Villa boss Smith discussed the complications around resuming on Sky Sports' 'The Football Show', explaining one player in his squad is asthmatic and another has a vulnerable family member living at his home.
