'It's really hard to imagine putting a game on in two or three weeks given the scenario we're in': Brighton chief executive Paul Barber admits Premier League is unlikely to resume any time soon as he insists clubs DO want to play remainder of the season

Brighton chief executive Paul Barber has claimed that it is unlikely that the Premier League will resume at the start of April.

On Friday, the Premier League confirmed all fixtures will be postponed until at least April 3 after Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta was diagnosed with the Coronavirus.

That decision will be reviewed in the coming weeks, with a meeting also set to take place between clubs this week to discuss possible future arrangements.

But Barber told Football Focus that he hopes his Brighton team, who are 15th place in the Premier League, can play out the remainder of the season.
