The Premier League CEO, Richard Masters, has
confirmed that he will allow Liverpool to lift the League
Cup but without the public attending, if he gets the
Premier League championship this season after resuming
the remaining matches.
Richard Masters said: “If possible, meaning coronation,
yes, there will be a celebration and the players will
exchange the cup. We would like to have a ceremony to
present the cup to reward the players and technical staff
for the hard work they did.”
“And therefore we will do it, unless this is not possible
for health concerns,” added the CEO of the Premier
League.
Liverpool, who are 25 points clear of champions and
direct competitors Manchester City, need 6 points from
their last nine games in order to crown an official
champion for the first time since 1990, which is about 30
years ago.
However, the team’s supporters, who are awaiting this
historical moment after a long absence, will not be able
to celebrate with it, due to the health concerns caused by
the spread of the Covid-19 epidemic in the world, and in
Britain, where about 35 thousand people died from the
disease, while nearly 248 injured. A thousand
British.
The English Premier League had stopped in mid-March
due to the outbreak of the new Corona virus, and the
clubs will resume their group training from Tuesday,
but in small groups.
The Premier League did not address the date of the
appeal, but the “road map” that laid out by the
British government a few days ago would open the way
for the return of sports competitions without an
audience.
And the first of next June fixed as a date,
with an appeal to resume the Premier League football
tournament starting from the middle of next month.
