ATHENS (Reuters) - Greek soccer will know later this month the extent of some of the damage to the game caused by the coronavirus outbreak, Super League president Minas Lysandrou said, after clubs this week set up a working group to chart the impact and plan for the future.

Lysandrou said it was still not clear when play would resume this season but the league had to work towards as seamless a transition as possible to the next campaign.

Last season's title triumph by northern club PAOK, who also won the Cup for their first double triumph, injected much-needed life into a league long dominated by Athens clubs. "We as Super League understand the critical situation and we are in uncharted waters. We cannot risk speaking about dates because we have an unprecedented situation," Lysandrou added.

European football is focusing on a restart in July and August. European soccer's governing body UEFA, the European Club Association and the European Leagues umbrella group told members on Thursday it was of"paramount importance" that competitions were decided on the field.
