Football in England will stay suspended until at least April 30 because of the coronavirus outbreak and the season could be finished in June.

The Football Association and Premier League say they have agreed to extend the suspension from April 4 to April 30. The FA board has waived a regulation which would normally oblige leagues to finish by June 1.

That means the English leagues can continue playing in space that opened up when UEFA postponed the European Championship to 2021.

The FA, Premier League and English Football League say they are “united in their commitment” that the season should be resumed.
