Premier League is 'nowhere near having found a formula to complete the season', says Aston Villa chief Christian Purslow - as he suggests issues of dealing with players who catch coronavirus are still unsolved

Christian Purslow believes issues surrounding players contracting coronavirus are yet to be resolved, as the Premier League works towards a return to action.

The Aston Villa chief executive added that he believed the Premier League was 'nowhere near having found the formula to complete the season', despite the prospect of 'Project Restart' reigniting action on March 12.

With games set to be played behind closed doors, some relegation-threatened clubs are opposed to the concept of 'neutral hubs' to finish the season and in an interview with The Times, Purslow says it is the 'duty' of all 20 clubs to find a workable solution.
