English Premier News :: Coronavirus and football: Impossible to know when restart will be

Posted on 2020-04-15 by Gooner

Football will "no doubt" return behind closed doors but it is "impossible" to know when that will be, says the body that represents Europe's top leagues.

Alberto Colombo, the deputy general secretary of European Leagues, said the suspension of the season because of the coronavirus pandemic was "a huge crisis".

"The vast majority" of the association's members, which includes the Premier League and the English Football League, are prioritising a return to action, he said.

"But, of course, it's impossible to answer the question: 'When we will be back playing?' Nobody has these answers. "Ultimately, we all know the governments of the countries are the ones in charge for lifting the various restrictions that apply to sport."
