Premier League clubs are bracing themselves for another £100million of losses amid fears that the return of fans may be delayed until November. Representatives of the major sports met Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden on Wednesday to discuss their aspirations for supporters to attend matches as soon as possible, with a further update expected next week. 'There is a mutual understanding of the need to get fans back in, whilst all acknowledging the very significant headwinds we face with the virus,' Dowden said. 'I know that many fans are eager to return to football and that jobs depend on this too, so fans will welcome [this] news. This will help us build the evidence base to see how we can return fans safely in greater numbers as soon as it is safe to do so.'
