COVID-19: Premier League Matches Sets To Kick Start Hopefully June 8

Premier League games might restart from June 8 amidst the tension of COVID-19 pandemic and when the virus will come to an end in England.

Naija News learnt that That date was set by the clubs as the best-case scenario for the pandemic to subside or end to close the 2019/2020 season as clubs training were also fixed to start again from May 18.

But it also came amid warnings that the Government have made it clear that football will not be viewed as a special case and widespread testing of players and staff must be introduced before action can return.

It could mean that players have to report up for training under strict quarantine. Clubs have even discussed them turning up in their cars already changed into their kits to try and limit the chances of infection.

There will be mass testing at training grounds, stadiums for all players, staff and even media as they gear up for a return and would ideally like to squeeze all of the games into six weeks.

However, there is a realization that if there are further delays the season end could drag on into August as the two hour meeting emphasised that they must not return until it is absolutely safe.
