Premier League bosses are about to announce the season is being scrapped due to coronavirus, according to Udinese director Pierpaolo Marino. Football chiefs released a statement last week saying they intended to finish the season but refused to set a date for its return as the pandemic worsens.
They have reportedly been given a “tentative’”green light to resume in June behind closed doors if the situation improves as hoped. But according to Udinese director Marino – whose club has the same Pozzo family owners as Watford – the Premier League is set to follow Belgium’s example and call an end to the season.
