(Reuters) - The global players' union FIFPRO has said the completion of the current season must be the priority when football is finally able to resume following the coronavirus outbreak.

The sport is at a standstill around the world, with domestic leagues halted and the Euro 2020 and Copa America tournaments pushed back until next year, and it is not clear when the game will be able to resume.

"If we have any chance of finishing the season, we have to do so because the impact for players and everyone else in the game will be great if we don't." He praised players at Juventus and Barcelona who had agreed to take pay cuts, saying it was a"strong signal that should be commended", but added that the example should not be used to pressure those at smaller clubs.
