THE EFL have confirmed that fixtures will resume as normal from tomorrow (Tuesday, September 13) with Coventry City’s match against Luton Town to go ahead as planned.
The news comes after football was temporarily suspended at all levels of the pyramid last weekend as a mark of respect to the late Queen Elizabeth II.
However, in a statement released on Monday, the EFL confirmed that fixtures will return as normal in midweek.
An EFL statement read: “The EFL fixture programme will return as scheduled from Tuesday 13 September, with tributes to be paid to Her late Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II at grounds 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.
“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.”
Coventry travel to Luton on Wednesday, September 14 with kick-off at 7.45pm at Kenilworth Road.
