Premier League 'send out restart schedule to clubs' as they look to resume full training in three weeks but football's return could be scuppered by government with lockdown set to be extended

Key details from 'Project Restart' have emerged with the Premier League planning for a return to action on June 8.

They are informing clubs of the details included in their timetable for the coming weeks in the hope that the coronavirus crisis subdues.

The schedule has earmarked May 18 as the date for players to be able to be back in full training and June 8 for the first games back, according to the Telegraph, but those plans could be dashed as Boris Johnson is set to extend the lockdown until June.
