Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo pleads with the government to 'be fair' and allow football to continue, but he admits he's not sure 'if there's a solution' with over-celebrating under the spotlight

Nuno Espirito Santo has pleaded with Government ministers not to suspend football simply because players are struggling to avoid hugging each other after scoring.

English football will again be under the spotlight this weekend after clubs largely ignored tough new coronavirus protocols during midweek games, after players were told they could not embrace when celebrating a goal.

Wolves boss Nuno urged Premier League and Government officials to show understanding with footballers asked to break the habits of a lifetime.
