On Sunday night the EFL released a statement outlining the return to action of the Championship, provisionally on June 20th. We wanted to get the reaction of someone who will be heading back to work with a Championship club, so had a natter with Gary Rowett as he drove home after training. We discussed his reaction to the news on Sunday night, his thoughts on what things will be like, the lack of home advantage, player fitness, contract situations & summer recruitment.

On Sunday night the EFL released a statement outlining the return to action of the Championship, provisionally on June 20th. As ever, the statement raised a lot of question, and we wanted to make sure we provided as much clarity as possible. So on today's podcast, we welcomed Phil Hay of the Athletic to talk through some of the key points around opposition, scheduling, player fitness, venues and more. He also answered some of our questions about Leeds United and what shape they are in as they seek promotion to the Premier League. Thanks so much to Phil Hay for joining us, the magnificent Athletic writer whose coverage of Leeds and wider football during the coronavirus has been compulsory reading.
