English Premier League plans to restart competition

The Premier League is taking the necessary steps to give the green light to the Restart Project, which aims to resume the competition by early June in an attempt to finish it before July 31, leaving August free for UEFA competitions.

In a statement, the English league has reiterated that it will only resume training and competition when recommended by the Government, health authorities, and after consulting with players and coaches.

In addition, the Premier League celebrates that the Government has created a medical working group focused on elite sports.

During the meeting, which lasted over four hours, English clubs discussed the possibility of using a single venue to play the remaining 92 matches of the competition, although, according to the English press, not everyone agrees with this measure.

The venues being considered are Twickenham, where the English rugby team plays, Wembley, and the St. George's Park sports center, home of the English national football team's training camp.

In addition, this Friday, former footballer Gary Neville suggested that the Premier League could consider the option of taking the championship outside the UK, to a place not affected by the coronavirus.

Premier League clubs will meet next Friday with the aim of continuing to move forward in the approval of this restart plan.
