England's Premier League and Football League said on Friday they faced"difficult decisions" about the financial fall-out of the coronavirus but would not re-start until it was safe to do so.

"The Premier League, EFL and PFA agreed that difficult decisions will have to be taken in order to mitigate the economic impact of the current suspension of professional football in England and agreed to work together to arrive at shared solutions," they said.
