The Premier League has announced that all upcoming fixtures will be postponed until April 3 at the earliest.

Leading divisions across Europe and around the world have already taken that course of action in a bid to contain the spread of Covid-19 - Serie A, La Liga, MLS and Ligue 1 will all be taking in enforced breaks as a global pandemic continues to wreak havoc.

And, after an emergency meeting on Friday, the decision has been made that all forms of professional football in England be postponed until at least the beginning of next month.
