The League is hoping to resume on June 8th, with training starting on May 18th, but there are obstacles, amid moral disquiet and objections from clubs to playing matches at neutral venues.

It's reported the League will invest in testing machines costing 36 thousand pounds that can generate test results within 2 and a half hours.

A vote by the Premier League clubs is then expected next Thursday on today's proposals.
