The Premier League could restart behind close doors as early as May, according to the Independent‘s Miguel Delaney.
Football is currently in lockdown after the outbreak of virus-related illness around the world, with English football definitely not restarting until at least April 30th.
There are many who feel that the return of football may not be until well into the summer, but this latest update suggests otherwise.
Delaney states that Premier League football could even be back as early as May, although it is likely to be without supporters in the stadiums.
While appeasing television companies is thought to be a key reason behind the potential decision, the welfare of fans is also mentioned, with football seen as welcome respite during this tough time.
It remains to be seen if Liverpool’s assault on the Premier League title will start again earlier than expected, but it is an intriguing update nonetheless.
The Reds are expected to finish their campaign at some point, sealing a first league title since 1990 in the process.
