The Premier League, the Football League and the Women’s Super League have suspended all matches until 3 April in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
An unprecedented development, it follows the revelation overnight that several Premier League clubs have members of staff, including players and coaches, who are displaying symptoms of the virus.
The Football Association has also announced that the two England friendlies due to be played at the end of March, against Denmark and Italy at Wembley, have been called off, saying that “refunds will be processed to all ticket buyers within 14 working days”.
In Europe, Uefa has announced the postponement of all pending fixtures in the Champions League and Europa League to an as yet unspecified date.
