Roy Hodgson: A message to supporters

First and foremost, my thoughts are constantly with those directly affected by this awful virus, their families, our fantastic National Health Service staff, and everyone else keeping the country going at this time of crisis.

It’s now been one month since our players last kicked a ball, and in that time life as we knew it has been turned on its head.

There is absolutely no doubt that football pales into insignificance at a time such as this. This lockdown will have a major effect on people’s mental health and wellbeing, and I hope that there is positive news soon, especially in relation to us being able to return and finish off the season.
