Premier League clubs meet again over Project Restart
Premier League clubs will meet again today to discuss the resumption of the 2019- season.
Football in England has been suspended indefinitely by the coronavirus pandemic, but hopes remain that players will be able to resume normal training on May 18 ahead of restarting the season on June 8.
If the league resumes, matches are expected to be played behind closed doors without supporters.
As reported by Standard Sport on Thursday, top flight clubs are concerned that Covid-19 testing is the biggest obstacle to the return of professional football.
All 20 clubs will receive details of ‘Project Restart’ — a plan to resume the top-flight by mid-June — at today's shareholders’ meeting, while the EFL are also working on proposals for the return of competition.
The latest meeting takes place following the announcement in France that the Ligue 1 season would be cancelled, with PSG crowned champions having been 12-points clear at the top of the division.
