The English Premier League has limited speculation on when championship battles can return. English football leaders had decided to extend the season until April 30, but the situation regarding the coronavirus has changed even the most optimistic plans. The official Premier League statement announces that the championship will only be resumed when it is completely safe to play. The statement also calls on clubs and players to join the fight against COVID-19 - providing financial support to hospitals and other organizations fighting this difficult pandemic. In addition, the Premier League has stated that clubs have the right to reduce players' wages and can consult with league representatives on this matter. UEFA has asked for patience from all national federations - not to cancel the seasons, even if they are extended only in the middle of the summer.
The Premier League’s overriding priority is to aid the health and wellbeing of the nation and our communities. The 2019/20 season will only return when it is safe and appropriate to do so. Full statement: #WeAreOneTeam Source
