Matches could take place behind closed doors from the middle of next month, although not everything is yet in place for this to happen
British culture secretary Oliver Dowden has confirmed that “good progress” is being made to restart the Premier League in mid-June.
Football has been put on hold around much of Europe since the middle of March due to the coronavirus pandemic, which has seen close to 250,000 people tested positive in the UK, with nearly 35,000 losing their lives.
With society beginning to open up after what is hoped to be the peak of the virus having passed, the Premier League is hoping to follow in the footsteps of the Bundesliga, which returned to the field over the weekend.
