IN SOCCER
Premier League clubs will discuss today what would happen if the season is curtailed by the pandemic.

They'll debate scenarios to finalise the league table if the campaign cannot be completed - but the potential for scrapping relegation is not expected to be on the agenda.

Clubs could also also vote on the possible use of neutral venues for some games.

It's expected that a fixture list for the opening few weeks of the restarted season will be finalised this afternoon.

Bohemians say it was an "error" for two groups of three of their players and a coach to take part in a training session in the same place.

Pictures of the session at Father Collins Park in Donaghmede in Dublin emerged on social media yesterday.

Ireland's Olympians will be exempt from travel restrictions during the pandemic from next Monday so they can resume training at high performance facilities.

Padraig Harrington's European team are due to play Stricker's side at Whistling Straits in September, though Rory McIlroy is among the players to call for postponement if fans aren't allowed to attend.

Stricker says it would be a crime to play without fans at the Wisconsin course and he added it would likely reduce the event to a "yawnfest".

MOTORSPORT

Wolff also admits that they're monitoring the situation of Sebastian Vettel, who is due to become a free agent in December.

The NBA will meet with the National Basketball Players Association later to discuss proposals to resume the season with 22 teams next month.
