While the major bonus of a vaccine is the number of lives it will save globally, for purely selfish reasons, we wish to focus on the potential impact on the Premier League.
As the Daily Mail report, there is now hope that fans could return to Premier League stadiums early next year in wake of the news of a potential vaccine being developed.
In addition, the Daily Mail claim that the Premier League are already preparing plans of their own to combat the virus, which involve testing at the turnstiles.
It will be some time before a Premier League match day is as it was before the pandemic struck, but football needs fans – and it looks as though it’s going to get them.
