Restart Of Football: Premier League clubs split ahead of meeting

English Premier League

How the Premier League can restart should become clearer in the coming days, with the British Prime Minister Boris Johnson saying sports can resume only if members of your own household are playing.


Any restart during the coronavirus pandemic is not just reliant on the government, which is planning to outline the path to group training by sports teams being allowed again.

The 20 Premier League clubs head into their latest conference call on Monday split over a plan to use neutral stadiums to complete the season that was halted in March.

As clubs try to create safe conditions for training and games, the risk of players gathering again have been underscored by a Brighton player testing positive for COVID-19 on Sunday.

The government, however, said last week it wants to see the return of the Premier League to "lift the spirits of the nation" when it is safe.

But at least six clubs, according to Watford, are insistent on being allowed to play at home despite Police saying that is not feasible.
