Football is set to resume on Tuesday in the English Football League after their weekend games were postponed following the Queen's passing.

Queen Elizabeth II passed away at the age of 96 last Thursday, and a decision was made the next day for all weekend matches to be called off, while grassroots football was also put on hold.

However, the EFL season will restart on Tuesday with the national anthem to be played at each ground ahead of kick-off. There remains some doubt about Premier League games, though, due to concerns about police shortages, with the Queen's funeral due to take place next Monday.
