Project Restart latest as Premier League meets to discuss Boris Johnson’s update
The Premier League faces a decisive week as discussions over Project Restart resume in the hope of resurrecting the 2019-20 season.
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson outlined plans on Sunday to increase permitted levels of exercise, but those guidelines appear to have put the brakes on a swift return for professional sport after revealing the coronavirus transmission rate is still too high to significantly ease the lockdown.
Sport in the United Kingdom has been at a standstill for a number of weeks but Premier League clubs are expected to vote on Project Restart's plans to complete the season at neutral venues in a crunch meeting on Monday.
However, Johnson indicated that - while the general population will be allowed to exercise outdoors more than once a day and play sports from Wednesday - they must do so only with those in their own households.
