'It is too early' - Mayor Khan says London shouldn't host Premier League matches yet


The English top flight is eyeing a return to the pitch next month after going on hiatus in March due to the coronavirus pandemic

London Mayor Sadiq Khan has thrown a potential wrench into the Premier League's proposed return, saying that it is too soon to play matches in England's capital.

The Premier League has been suspended since March amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, but is eyeing a return next month.

On Monday the government cleared the league to resume play on June 1, outlining the plan in a 50-page document for lifting the coronavirus-enforced lockdown in England.
