Premier League chiefs working towards June 1 restart

Premier League chiefs are now working towards restarting the season on June 1.

The remainder of the campaign would be completed within a six week period.

The current season was postponed until at least April 30 following a meeting of all Premier League clubs last week after the rapid spread of the coronavirus around the UK and the world.

The Premier League are formulating a plan whereby fixtures are played within a short period of time to allow for the 2020-21 campaign to begin on August 8 as scheduled, according to reports.
