However, there are many doubts that this date will be maintained and will not be extended.

In Daily Mail explain that there is a widespread belief that the tournament will resume in late May or early June, which would make the schedule tighten, bearing in mind that they must finish before June 30. This would imply having to play two or three games per week, something that Premier League doctors fear.

Doctors warn that such a calendar would bring serious consequences for the health of the players, who would risk more frequent injuries, being the hamstrings and the English the weakest points in this case. The fatigue It is also an aspect to take into account and all this fatigue, together with the discomfort, could be carried by the players until the following campaign.
