The Premier League received a huge boost over June’s return before Monday’s decisive meeting.
Boris Johnson addressed the public on Sunday, revealing a plan to guide the country out of the running of the bulls for the following months.
On Monday, the Prime Minister will reveal in Parliament more details of his roadmap for getting out of the running of the bulls, and a government document on elite sports is expected to be released on Tuesday, The Telegraph reports.
These plans will give the green light for professional sports to return next month, including the scheduled resumption of the Premier League on June 12, subject to safety conditions being met and coronavirus infection rates not increasing.
However, Johnson’s go-ahead comes as up to eight Premier League clubs are expected to discuss the use of neutral venues and call for a restart of the “project restart” at a crucial meeting today.
Clubs threatened with relegation are opposed to playing crucial games that could define their league status far from home, even behind closed doors.
The initial number of clubs against the latest proposal is increasing, and the report indicates that the number has increased from six to eight, which is very significant.
On Monday, the 20 Premier League clubs will meet again to discuss plans to ‘restart the project’.
The league needs 14 clubs (70 percent) to align with the current proposal to pass the motion, but there is growing fear that the threshold will not be met and a June 12 restart will be delayed further.
The notion of relegation to scrapping has been firmly denied by the Premier League and the EFL.
