The Premier League faces the week of truth. The clubs come together today to see if and when the competition can be resumed. A decision is expected to be made quickly.
In Britain, Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced on Sunday that measures against the corona virus will be eased from Wednesday, but he did not speak about top sport – such as the Premier League and the July 19 Formula 1 race at Silverstone.
The intention is to rapidly complete the remaining 92 Premier League matches on neutral ground from June. Players would be tested extensively, but club doctors don’t think they can guarantee their health.
For example, a third – not mentioned by name – case was discovered on Thursday at Brighton & Hove Albion, the club of Orange-international Davy Pröpper.
Black community more likely to die
Then there is a study by the British government that shows that the mortality rate of people from the black community is twice as high in corona. “Obviously, that creates a lot of concerns,” said PFA player union president Bobby Barnes in The Times.
