EFL fixtures set to resume

The EFL has announced its teams will return to action on Tuesday night following the death of Britain's Queen Elizabeth.

The league's weekend programme was postponed as a mark of respect but the midweek matches scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday are set to go ahead, with tributes to be paid to the Queen at games around the country.

"A minute's silence will be held before matches, with black armbands to be worn by participants, flags to be flown at half-mast and the national anthem to be played in stadiums," an EFL statement said.

"With a national policing plan now in operation, the league and clubs will continue to work with forces in respect of any challenges that may emerge regarding policing of specific fixtures.

"Consideration to individual circumstances will be made on a case-by-case basis, in line with standard match safety advisory group (SAG) protocols."

It is being reported that all the midweek EFL matches will go ahead as planned, even those taking place in London.

However, it is not yet certain that all matches in the Premier League or EFL at the weekend will go ahead as planned due to the strain on police resources as a result of the Queen's state funeral, which will take place next Monday.

Sporting governing bodies were meeting again with the Government on Monday to discuss the scheduling of events this weekend.

Discussions with UEFA are ongoing over the scheduled European fixtures this week involving British clubs in the Champions League, Europa League and European Conference League.

Most are expected to go ahead but doubts remain over Arsenal's Europa League clash with PSV.
