Fans could be cleared to attend the FA Cup final on August 1.

The Mirror says the FA could lead the way with fans returning to football – in the Cup Final on August 1.

It is believed plans are being explored to allow a maximum of up to 10,000 fans from each side to support their team in the showpiece final at Wembley.

But only IF the coronavirus infection rate has dipped below 0.5 when the game comes around.

If the health advice allows, Wembley's 90,000 capacity would be the perfect stadium in which to trial a return to action in front of a limited number of fans.

Senior stadium officials believe the space available at Wembley would enable them to control the flow of supporters in and out of the stadium.
