One Premier League club owner says June 8 is the “best-case scenario” of when the Premier League season could restart, but he thinks that is an ambitious target.
The government said on Thursday the lockdown would be in place for at least another three weeks. If it is lifted on May 7 players may be able to start training again depending on government advice. Players would need to train for about three weeks to get close to match fitness again, so games could start in early June.
It has to be stressed though that this is the best-case scenario. The Premier League have modelled for the season starting later than June.
