Ligue 1 can’t restart until September says France PM

Ligue 1 and other French pro athletics alliances including football and rugby can't restart before September in light of coronavirus limitations, Prime Minister Edouard Philippe said on Tuesday.

Philippe made the declaration as a component of a steady intend to lift the lockdown in France. He said no occasion where in excess of 5,000 individuals assemble would be permitted until at any rate September.

The declaration seems to scupper the plans of French football's top division Ligue 1 to begin again in June with players being reviewed as of May 11.
