Ligue 1 'won't resume until mid-June' in bleak omen for Premier League

mirror.co.uk:

Premiere Ligue president Bernard Caiazzo has insisted it could yet be three months at least before the French Ligue 1 commences again.

The league was indefinitely suspended on March 13 due to the outbreak of coronavirus in the country, but there had initially been hopes it could resume in April or May.

Caiazzo, however, who is in charge of the union that represents Ligue 1 clubs, thinks the severity of the situation means June is a more likely month for football to resume again.

Speaking to , he said: "It is necessary to finish the championship at all costs, even if it means ending it in July-August and resuming in stride. "Currently, all the clubs are losing around €250 million a month and we cannot play until the curve is reversed.
