English Premier League clarify statement on 2019/2020 season being over

The English Premier League has denied claims that it is planning to announce that the league "is over" due to coronavirus pandemic.

The claim was made by Udinese Sporting Director, Pierpaolo Marino who stated that the decision would soon be made by the EPL due to the worsening situation with coronavirus in the UK.

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 hope we can enjoy football again after the coronavirus.

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

This has now been debunked by a spokesperson for the EPL who spoke to Manchester Evening News saying the statement by Marino is "inaccurate" because no such announcement is in the making.
