The shutdown of English football was extended until at least April 30 on Thursday after the Premier League and English Football League (EFL) held crisis meetings.
"We'vecollectively agreed that the professional game in England will be furtherpostponed until no earlier than Thursday 30 April," said a joint statementby the English Football Association, Premier League, EFL, players and managers'bodies.
UEFA's decision to postpone Euro 2020 for 12 months earlier this week could allow games to be completed over the summer if strict restrictions on travelling and mass gatherings to halt the spread of COVID-19 are lifted in time.
Theleagues still hope to finish the season once play can be restarted rather thanaccepting the current standings as final or declaring the campaign null andvoid.
