If there is another suspension due to the coronavirus, or if players turn out positive during COVID-19 tests after Project Restart kicks off, it will increase the probability of the current season being curtailed, according to the report.
The Premier League are determined to start the new season in September come what may, which means that if the current 2019/20 season doesn’t finish by then, the PL will start the new season anyway.
