Football set to restart but policing concerns could affect matches

Discussions with UEFA are ongoing over the scheduled European fixtures this week involving British clubs in Europe.

Football is set to return this week (Zac Goodwin/PA).

Football on a wide scale is set to recommence on Tuesday following the postponement of all the weekend’s fixtures, but policing concerns mean games will be assessed on a match-by-match basis.

The English Football League programme is due to return, but resourcing issues, particularly in relation to police, may cause difficulties with certain local authority’s Safety Advisory Group protocols.
