Monday’s conference call is the first hurdle and clubs will need to agree on rules
London — The English Premier League hopes “Project Restart” will move a step closer to becoming reality on Monday when clubs hold an emergency meeting to vote on a return to group training amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The government last week opened the door for the return of elite sport, but several hurdles remain before the Premier League can resume behind closed doors. Safety measures will include tents where temperature checks will be conducted, strict hygiene criteria, no canteens and no showers. Project Restart was originally looking at a June 12 resumption date but should the clubs agree and, if there is no rise in infections in the country, a return date of June 19 or June 26 appears the most likely.
