Leicester City's next season Champions League campaign given date

UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin has stated that next sesaon's Champions League campaign will start in September, as normally. Leicester City are on course to return to the  Europe's top competition, as Brendan Rodgers’ side currently hold an eight-point advantage inside the top four with nine Premier League games remaining. Premier League, alongside numerous football competitions, has been suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic and may not be completed until late July. And now Ceferin said the Champions League calendar for 2020-21 is planned to remain the same, with the group stages traditionally beginning in September. "For now, it looks like the calendar will not be much affected, especially the calendar of Uefa competitions,” Ceferin said. “The calendar is very dense and we don’t have much space to change things and my opinion is that it will stay the same. About the national leagues, it’s hard to say now. "Some say they are thinking of starting a bit later, some will start normally, it’s too far. For European competitions, for Europa League and Champions League, we are of the view that it should stay the same. “Maybe a day or two difference, but in principle it should and I think it will stay the same.” However, it can be a disappointment for the fans, as they are unlikely to be allowed to enter stadiums until later in the year, or even 2021.
