Vote by Premier League clubs to return to contact training is a big step towards completing this season's fixtures
London — English Premier League football clubs on Wednesday voted unanimously to return to contact training, including tackling, as the English top flight moved a step closer to a resumption after the shutdown caused by the novel coronavirus pandemic.
Failure to resume the season could cost the league about £750m in lost revenue from broadcasters, according to British media estimates. The announcement that phase two can begin follows 1,744 tests on players and staff for the coronavirus which produced eight positives, including Watford defender Adrian Mariappa and Bournemouth goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale.
