Premier League restart date pushed back to April 30 – League run will be extended
All English football will be suspended until April 30. Many clubs throughout the league have cancelled training while others resume if business is back to normal.
The Premier League have announced they are not taking any risk amid COVID-19 protocols and are not in a rush to complete the current campaign, although, concluding it will be arranged. As it stands now the league will commence “indefinitely”.
This is said to be a unanimous decision by all clubs involved, emphasising on the importance of public safety as of the highest priority. Worryingly, the end of April is seen as an ambitious return date for English football, suggesting a later date will come into play. But this also comes as no surprise, as the Coronavirus must still peak in England, as per Bryan Swanson.
