​Premier League opens discussions on fans returning to stadiums

Discussions have started about fans attending Premier League matches again, says chief executive Richard Masters, reports BBC Sport.

The English top flight restarts on Wednesday after a 100-day break because of the coronavirus pandemic with fixtures played behind closed doors.

"The Premier League is back but it won't be fully back until we get those fans back inside the stadium," he said.

"We're very keen to see fans back in the stadium at the earliest possible juncture when it's safe and appropriate to do so."
