Last week, Major League Soccer announced the suspension of the 2020 season in response to the COVID-19 pandemic sweeping the nation and the world.
It’s an uncertain time for everyone with a seemingly endless stream of updates, news and guidelines released daily. Originally, MLS matches were suspended for 30 days, but following a recommendation from the Center for Disease Control, it was then announced on Thursday that there will be no games for eight weeks, bringing the suspension to the middle of May. The league has also issued a training moratorium which currently bars players from training together.
