'I'm sure the FAs will survive through this financially': Chris Wilder calls for international football to be curtailed amid ongoing coronavirus pandemic as he reveals Sheffield United have a Covid-19 issue with a returning player

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder believes international football should be curtailed amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Wilder was asked his opinion on the issue at his pre-match press conference on Friday ahead of his side's Premier League game against Fulham, where he revealed the club has a Covid-19 issue with a player who has returned from the international break.

The Blades weren't the only club to see their players affected by the virus while away on international duty, with Arsenal's Kieran Tierney forced to self-isolate after coming into close contact with Southampton and Scotland team-mate Stuart Armstrong, who tested positive for the virus.
