The British government hopes that the Premier League can resume in mid-June. This is what was hoped by the Secretary of State for Sport Oliver Dowden, while insisting that "public safety" remains the priority. "On Thursday I had very productive discussions with the federation (FA), the Football League (EFL) and the Premier League.
We are working hard with them to try to return, aiming for mid-June, but the number one criterion will be public safety" he told Sky Sport.
A Premier League club general meeting is scheduled for today. He should vote to approve a resumption of the training protocol that would allow exercises in small groups of 5 as early as tomorrow, according to reports in the press.
The last game of the English top league was played on March 9, but the Premier hopes to finish the game by playing the remaining 92 games on the calendar. The restart plan initially included a return to collar training from today and a resumption of matches on June 9, but was set aside due to reservations about health security or matches on a neutral pitch. Now the target date would be June 12th.
