Norwich City midfielder Alex Tettey has welcomed the Premier League's restart date.

The top-flight will resume on June 17 after the coronavirus suspension.

Tettey told VG: "It is very good, and the club has said all along it must be completed. It is very positive if everything is going well and perhaps most importantly that health is good.

"We started up again on Wednesday with groups of more than five people. First practice was yesterday with groups of ten.

"I'm excited about whether we can play training matches. In Norway you get to play training matches, but I haven't heard anything about it. There will be damage and wear. It will be intense training, before it would be a quieter week before the matches.

"We have everything to play for. We will give everything we have to stay in the Premier League."
