English Premier League officials are set to begin regular meetings with the government and senior medical directors about restarting top-flight football as soon as possible.
According to the BBC, the move is seen as a “quickening the pace” and intend to resume the league season where it left off at some stage during the coming weeks.
A return to action will, however, depend on an increase in testing for those involved in the restart and strict social distancing measures between players.
A Premier League plan revealed to its shareholders sets June 8 as the ideal return date, with the campaign completed on July 27, allowing until late August to start the new season.
The matches will be played behind closed doors.
