Premier League needs to consider July start date, says Neville

Gary Neville has said the Premier League should be looking at a July restart date, despite the government having cleared the league to return on June 1.

The English top flight has been suspended since March amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and has been debating a number of approaches to resuming play.

On Monday, the government published a 50-page document for lifting the coronavirus-enforced lockdown in England, which could see the Premier League restart on June 1.
