UK government have released new guidelines that sports clubs and athletes will follow ahead of the English Premier League (EPL) resumption date.
It's been gathered that the English Premier League has been handed green light to restart the season next month.
Although, the matches are expected to be played behind closed doors.
Sky Sport reports that the Department for Digital, Culture, Media, and Sport (DCMS) issued a document on Wednesday featuring guidelines designed to allow each sport to make a risk assessment on when it’s safe for training to resume amid the COVID-19 crisis.
“I know our sports stars are keen to get back to training, and this guide will enable them to do so in a safe way,” said Oliver Dowden, Secretary of State for DCMS.
“Our top priority is protecting the health of athletes, coaches, and support staff.
“Enabling athletes to get match-fit is an important milestone towards restarting competitive sport behind closed doors – but we have not given the green light yet.
“We are clear that this can only happen on the advice of medical experts and when it is safe to do so.”
