Fleshing out plans for the Premier League's return, Bundesliga hopes for the green light, D-Day for The Hundred and F1 calendar takes shape... this week's big decisions as sport tries to emerge from coronavirus shadow

Could sport be about to emerge fr om the shadow of the Covid-19 pandemic?

There is increasing optimism that action could resume in the United Kingdom and across Europe in the coming weeks as lockdown restrictions are cautiously relaxed.

Of course, any sporting events that do take place in the coming weeks and months would be behind closed doors and with strict hygiene guidelines in place.

But there are encouraging signs now that sport, in some form, could soon be back with us and further progress could be made this week as the various governing bodies meet.
