(Reuters) - Premier League managers have welcomed the British government's decision to allow fans to return to stadiums for the first time amid the COVID-19 pandemic, even if clubs are limited to 2,000 at stadiums where they can open their doors.

With a month-long national lockdown to contain the spread of the virus set to be lifted on Dec. 2, the government has said up to 4,000 fans can attend outdoor elite sports events in the lowest-risk medium alert areas of England.

Newcastle United manager Steve Bruce, whose club cannot yet host any fans, said the move was a"step in the right direction" for smaller teams but questioned the maximum limit as the size of stadiums was not being taken into account. Burnley must also wait to host supporters at Turf Moor but could play in front of spectators at Arsenal next month. Manager Sean Dyche said"any fans getting into stadiums" was a start.
