G. Murray doubts the decision of the Premier League: "I don't understand why we have to rush" © JumpStory

Although the United Kingdom still counts hundreds of coronavirus victims every day, the English Premier League is planning to extend its season already in mid-June. However, not all footballers support such desire of the league and club leaders. Brighton team's forward Glenn Murray agrees with the extension of the season, but doubts that everything should start so soon. "We must extend the season, but if we gave ourselves more time, we would learn more about this virus, and the country would stand more firmly on its feet. We don't necessarily have to wait for the vaccine to appear, but we could better prepare for the scenario if someone got infected. I don't understand why we have to hurry so much and can't wait at least another month to see how the situation develops. We should see how the country copes with easing the quarantine, not immediately start unnecessary sports events. After all, many people are still dying from this virus," - G. Murray said in an interview with Sky Sports. The UK has already recorded over 233 thousand coronavirus cases, and the death toll has exceeded 33.6 thousand.
