The Premier League should continue to aim for a return to action on June 19, according to Gary Neville, who feels three weeks’ training is adequate for players to get up to match fitness.
The Premier League has been shutdown since March because of the coronavirus pandemic, but the first steps towards a resumption have begun under the league’s ‘Project Restart’ plan.
Players returned to training in small groups last week, with clubs unanimously voting to resume full contact training at a shareholders meeting on Wednesday - the most significant step towards getting players fit and ready for a restart.
