Premier League football is gearing up for a June return and this week clubs returned to full contact training.
The Premier League has earmarked a June 19-21 return for the first round of fixtures, with the re-arranged fixtures, Aston Villa vs Sheffield United and Manchester City vs Arsenal, set to take place on June 17.
Following the two-month hiatus a number of players who had suffered potentially season-ending injuries are now set to be available for selection once again.
The likes of Marcus Rashford, Paul Pogba and Harry Kane are all now back in training and raring to go.
Here is a club-by-club latest on those players who were injured, but are now set to be ready for the 2019-20 campaign’s resumption, as well as those who are still sidelined.
