A statement from the Premier League read: “Fans have been hugely missed so we welcome today’s announcement by the Government, and are looking forward to full stadiums in the 2021/22 season.

“As we move towards a Government decision on Step 4 of the roadmap and beyond, we will continue to work with football stakeholders and relevant public authorities to ensure that the return to full capacity is done in a way that keeps everyone safe.”

unlike in recent pilot events, spectators will NOT need to show evidence of a double Covid-19 vaccination – unless venues demand it or the pandemic problems significantly worsen.

Johnson said: “We will move away from legal restrictions and allow people to make their own informed decisions.

“We will remove all legal limits on those meeting indoors and outdoors.

“We will lift the limit on numbers of people attending concert, theatre and sports events.”
