Sean Dyche is delighted with the move to press the Premier League restart button as he plans the Clarets’ return to action.
The Premier League has agreed to restart the competition on 17 June – provided all safety requirements are in place – with the first full fixture programme taking place over the weekend starting Friday, 19 June.
Final details on fixtures and venues are still to be confirmed, but the Clarets will resume their season over that weekend to launch their final run of nine games.
And that means Dyche and his staff can focus more clearly on fine-tuning preparations for Burnley’s bid to complete a campaign which was put on hold by the Covid-19 pandemic in mid-March when the Clarets were 10th in the table and unbeaten in seven league games.
