The Premier League season has been "extended indefinitely" as a result of the coronavirus pandemic and will not resume any earlier than April 30.

Professional football in England was already suspended until April 3, but a joint statement published by the Premier League, Football Association and English Football League confirmed the 2019-20 season will now be delayed until at least the end of April.

FA rules specify the campaign isn't permitted to finish any later than June 1, but that deadline has now been relaxed in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak.

This article will be updated to provide more information on this story as it becomes available.
