Do you want the Premier League to return at some point in June?No, it's not the right time
Yes, needs to at some point

According to the report, a number of Premier League players have expressed concerns to their managers as they feel ‘uncomfortable’ with returning to training, which is somewhat of a blow for ‘Project Restart’.
So, after the report was relayed to West Ham supporters on social media (via @WHUFCFZ), the London Stadium faithful continued airing their reactions.
Great news, it showed total disrespect to not involve players in this discussion. They are also lucky enough not to have any financial concerns by not returning.

What do we think?
As can be seen in these responses from West Ham fans, they were pleased to read that a number of Premier League players would be refusing to return to training.
However, what was not mentioned in the tweet, but was in the article, was that ‘the vast majority are likely to report for training’ and it was just ‘cases’ of players who were not prepared to return (per Daily Mail).
