GOOD MORNING SPORTS FANS</strong></p>n

Project Restart was boosted last night with news of just two more positive tests in the Premier League.</p>n

Out of 996 tests conducted last week, two people came back positive, from two different clubs.</p>n

In the first round of testing, six players and staff from three different clubs were found to have Covid-19, from 748 samples.</p>n

A statement read: “The Premier League can today confirm that on Tuesday 19 May, Thursday 21 May and Friday 22 May, 996 players and club staff were tested for Covid-19.</p>n

“Of these, two have tested positive from two clubs.”</p>n

Meanwhile, Former FA and Arsenal chief David Dein says next season should run from February until November.</p>n

He says rewriting the football calendar would give leagues the time they need to finish the postponed campaigns safely.</p>n

He said: “I’d like to see next season recalibrated. One reason is we don’t know what’s going to happen.</p>n

“Will this season actually be able to finish in June and July? I wouldn’t put pressure on ourselves. If we have to, let’s finish this season in October or November.”</p>n

In other news, the NBA have a Mickey Mouse idea to resume the basketball season – a trip to Disneyland.</p>n
