Earlier this month COVID-19 halted MLS play two matches into the 2020 season. Now the league has postponed all games until May 10 with the possibility of pushing back the championship to December.
The league, which is celebrating its 25th season, is currently not permitting players or staff to use team facilities. This has created a wide range of challenges given player salaries range from the millions to the tens of thousands of dollars per year. Some Colorado Rapids who live in downtown apartment complexes don’t even have gyms they can access.
“No stone has been left unturned; they’re doing a great job,” head coach Robin Fraser said.
