Ending Ligue 1 season ‘the best solution’ – Montpellier's Delort

Montpellier forward Andy Delort said he supports the French government's decision to suspend professional football in the country until September due to the coronavirus pandemic.

On Tuesday, Prime Minister Edouard Philippe announced that 'no big sporting affairs can occur before September' due to the virus that has left the country under lockdown.

Ligue 1 was initially suspended on March 13 following the outbreak of Covid-19 in France and it will no longer resume to complete the 2019-20 season.
