'There's decisions to make': Chris Wilder anticipates Sheffield United will lose up to £30m as result of coronavirus pandemic and may have to offload fringe players to cut costs

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder believes the financial implications of the Coronavirus pandemic could affect the club to the tune of between £20million and £30million.

The Premier League was curtailed in March due to the outbreak and since its resumption this month all matches have been behind closed doors with fans not permitted to attend.

With no timescale on when supporters might be allowed back in stadiums, clubs continue to feel the pinch from a commercial point of view.

The impact has changed the landscape for Wilder as regards his budget for next season and he may have to let some fringe players leave the club as a result.
