We have to finish the Premier League season, no matter how long it takes - Blades boss Wilder

Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder says the Premier League must complete the 2019-20 campaign, no matter what delays could be enforced upon subsequent seasons, in order to help preserve the sport's integrity.

The Blades have enjoyed a remarkable first season back in the top flight under the 52-year-old and sit firmly in the hunt for Champions League football in the upper echelons of the table.

They have not played since a 1-0 win over relegation stragglers Norwich City on March 7, however, as football across the globe stands suspended in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, with no definitive end to the hiatus in sight.
