The national football team has traveled to Dubai to compete, the return date is tentative, is expected to June 16 to embark on the journey home. According to the domestic epidemic prevention measures, the players need to go through a long period of medical isolation after returning to the country, which will undoubtedly lead to the recovery of the Super League may be delayed until mid-July. In addition to the national football team may enter the 12 strong match, time is short, the journey of this season's Premier League may also be forced to reduce, whether it can successfully complete the 30 rounds of matches, the suspense is heavy.
Originally, according to the established schedule, the Chinese Super League (Round 6) should restart on June 21st. However, with the national football team going to the United Arab Emirates, many of the main players of the Chinese Super League teams are facing a grim reality: after completing the 40-team tournament on June 15 (provided that the Group A matches are not postponed), they will have to wait until June 16 at the earliest before they can depart for their home countries. Upon their return, they will have to undergo a series of epidemiological inspections and a long period of medical quarantine in accordance with the epidemic prevention regulations. Under such circumstances, it is difficult for the Chinese Super League to restart on June 21 as originally scheduled.
According to sources familiar with the matter, there is a greater possibility that the re-launch of the Chinese Super League will be delayed at present. On the one hand, Guangzhou, as one of the two major Chinese Super League tournament areas, the epidemic situation is grim, and prevention and control work is crucial. Considering that some of the matches have been opened to spectators, the organizers and the tournament area must put the protection of the lives and health of the personnel in the first place, and carefully treat the restart of the Super League; on the other hand, the players need to return to their home countries for a long time quarantine, and the organizers need to wait for the players to return to their respective clubs in good health and safety before restarting the Super League from the point of view of ensuring fair competition.
As of May 31, the relevant discussions are still ongoing. However, according to the time projection, once the re-launch of the Premier League is postponed, the specific start date may be delayed until mid-July.
