Premier League in 'advanced talks with government over football returning in June' with games to be played behind closed doors

The return of the Premier League could be edging closer after advanced talks with the government led to a possible June return for the top flight.

An emergency meeting involving the 20 clubs was held on Friday to try and thrash out an agreement in a desperate measure to complete the season which came to a grinding halt back in March due to the coronavirus.

But according to the Mirror, the Premier League have made progress in getting to a stage where games could resume behind closed doors under special permission.
