(Reuters) - Britain's sports minister Oliver Dowden is confident sports events can welcome back capacity crowds from June 21, though he said some "high-risk" venues would require safety measures.

An easing of COVID-19 restrictions in the government's roadmap out of lockdown means up to 10,000 fans will be permitted at outdoor sports events in England from Monday, while further easing could push numbers up in June at stage four.
