Udinese Director, Pierpaolo Marino has said that the English Premier League will soon issue a statement which will declare that the 2019/2020 season "is over".

Liverpool currently tops the league with a 25 point lead ahead of second-placed Manchester City in the league which has been suspended due to coronavirus pandemic.

However, Marino who's club Udinese are also controlled by the Pozzo Family which controls Watford, revealed that the EPL will end the season because the situation with coronavirus is getting serious.

Marino told Sportitalia, “The Belgian Federation has already sanctioned the end of their league, despite the threats of sanctions from UEFA.

“In England, the Premier League is about to release a similar statement, because the situation there is becoming very, very serious. I frankly just hope we can enjoy football again after the coronavirus.

“It doesn’t matter how long it takes, we need to get out of this danger zone. I am worried about the next seasons, not the old one.”

Marino stated this despite the EPL revealing last week that the league will resume actions “when it is safe and appropriate to do so.”
