Newcastle United manager Steve Bruce has warned that players would not be ready for competitive action until the end of June as the English Premier League looks to restart its season.
But its plans to resume next month received a boost when the UK government last week said it was “opening the door” for the sport to return.
“If we were doing pre-season, we would have six weeks and probably have six friendly games to get them ready for the first league match. “Most of the managers have the same concerns… I don’t see how we can play games until the back end of June.” Newcastle United defender Danny Rose also expressed concerns, saying players’ health was more important than restarting the season.
