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.
