How will the Premier League restart look?published at 16:09 British Summer Time 15 June 2020
The Premier League is set to resume on Wednesday after it was suspended on 13 March.
We already know things are going to look a little different with all of the remaining 92 matches scheduled to be played behind closed doors – but what else will change?
Here are a few points worth a look at:
- Match day squads will shift up to 20 per club with clubs allowed to use up to five substitutes each in games.
- A maximum of 300 people - including broadcast staff, written media, commentators, doping officials and scouts - will be allowed inside stadiums for matches.
- Stadiums will be split into red, amber and green zones with each team's red zone pass holders to include 20 players, 12 coaching and medical staff and a further five essential staff.
- Players will undergo Covid-19 tests at their club's training ground before travelling to stadiums for matches.
- Teams will take the field separately, not side-by-side, and games will feature drinks breaks midway through each half.
