Premier League Project Restart: Premier League return close despite Coronavirus UK lockdown

Premier League players are expected to return to training this month while following the new health and safety guidelines amidst the Coronavirus UK crisis. According to reports from The Telegraph, the Premier League return by June 12 could be given a green light by Prime Minister Boris Johnson and the remainder of the games in the season will be completed behind closed doors. However, the Premier League Project Restart aims at resuming the English top flight without fans to reduce the spread of the deadly virus. The closed doors matches would be a massive blow to clubs struggling with their finances. According to ESPN, the UK Government-controlled Department of Culture, Media and Sport will speak to every major sporting body in the UK with an aim to ensure the resumption of all sporting activities by June 1.
