Representatives from all 20 top-flight clubs reconvened yesterday to vote on the physical operations and matchday protocols ahead of the return of top-flight football next Wednesday.

The management of player health and safety amid the coronavirus pandemic will be one of the key points of discussion today, along with the outlined protocols for the number of people who will present at matches.

The Premier League hopes that only essential club staff will be in attendance, with a total of 300 people present.

With stadiums set to be colour-coded with red, amber and green zones, restriction of access will be paramount in order for Project Restart to be a success.
