Premier League should consider completing season in European 'hotspots' free of coronavirus - Neville

Gary Neville has suggested the Premier League should consider playing games in European "hotspots" without coronavirus concerns, if the plan remains to finish the season.

The 2019-20 top-flight campaign has been halted since March 13 due to the global health pandemic, though the Premier League has continued to make clear its determination to complete the backlog of fixtures.

Friday will see further talks held between stakeholders over how to proceed, with reports suggesting there is hope for action to resume on the weekend commencing June 13.

Neville, however, is concerned over games going ahead in Britain safely - even behind closed doors - considering the logistical issues involved.
