According to ESPN, the original restart date of June 12 is set to be scrapped after clubs insisted players needed three weeks of full contact training before playing games.

Clubs are concerned about the risk of injury to players if Premier League games resume too soon.

The Premier League is now targeting a restart date of June 19 or June 26. A meeting will take place this week to determine the restart date, which is likely to be Friday night.

The report also claims the Premier League intend to kick off the restart of club action with Manchester United’s away clash against Tottenham.
