Burnley captain Ben Mee has praised Liverpool skipper Jordan Henderson for instigating the #playerstogether initiative.
A large number of players from Premier League clubs have agreed to donate money to the charitable fund which will 'distribute money to where it is needed most' in the fight against coronavirus.
It followed Health Secretary Matt Hancock calling on big-earning footballers to do their bit and take a pay cut.
This drew anger from players and the PFA who hit back at Hancock for seemingly singling out the sport for criticism.
