BREAKING NEWS: Premier League players speak out to say clubs could offer 'far more' to NHS and charitable causes and claim proposed wage cuts would see £200m in tax lost

Premier League players have called on their clubs can do 'far more' to support the NHS and charitable causes amid the coronavirus crisis that has shut down sport in a statement released by the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA).

The Premier League proposed on Friday to raise £20million to charitable causes, advancing £125million to support clubs in the EFL and National League and a 30 per cent salary cut/deferral across 12 months for Premier League players.

The statement welcomed the initial moves but also stated it wanted to ensure the players' contributions would support clubs, non-playing staff for full wages, EFL and non-league teams and the NHS and key workers during the pandemic.
