Summary
Welcome to The Return of the Premier League, a brand new three-part documentary series telling the story of how football returned amid the Coronavirus pandemic, hosted by Melissa Reddy.
Over the next three days, we'll explore every facet of the top-flight’s suspension in England and subsequent Project Restart plan. On today's episode, we look into just how seismic the stopping of the game was and how football wrestled with the unfolding events around the early stages of the COVID-19 crisis.
We hear from expert voices from around the game including Bournemouth and Wales defender Chris Mepham, former Newcastle player Ryan Taylor, football finance expert Dr Rob Wilson and journalists Darren Lewis and Vaishali Bhardwaj.
Episode 2: 'The New Normal' will be available tomorrow! All music courtesy of Epidemic Sound.
