Final Project Restart meeting to be held this week
The Premier League will today have its final Project Restart meeting of the week as chiefs hold talks with the UK Government, Police and the EFL.
The staging of matches at neutral venues will be discussed after discussions on Wednesday with managers and players paved the way for the Premier League to seek agreement on protocols for a safe return to training.
The League invited club captains and managers to share their thoughts on a return to action during conference calls on Wednesday, and they now hope to get the backing of clubs for its plans at a shareholders' meeting on Monday May 18.
But hopes that competition could resume by June 12 are in doubt after some top-flight managers called for a four-week mini pre-season before the League restarts.
