MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - The Premier League's hopes of bringing fans back into stadiums in early October could be hampered after the UK government said it will review the plans and limit test events for sport.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson told a Downing Street news conference that pilot events for sport in September would be restricted to a maximum of 1,000 fans per event.

"But that doesn't mean we are going to scrap the programme entirely. We are just going to have to review it and abridge it," he said. "Work continues round the clock with the ambition of having audiences back much closer to normal by Christmas," Dowden said. Premier League chief executive Richard Masters said the league remained ready to carry out test events with the goal of getting some fans back in grounds by Oct. 1.
