(Reuters) - The Premier League's plans to resume its season disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic will be guided by the progress in Germany but "insurmountable" problems could result in a long delay, Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish has said.

Germany's plans to restart competitive soccer on May 16 suffered an early setback after the entire team of second tier Dynamo Dresden were placed in a two-week quarantine following two positive coronavirus tests.
