The prospect of there being no PFA Player of the Year for the first time since 1973 has significantly increased after the voting process was suspended.
It had been the PFA's plan to crown the campaign's top performer – and the outstanding young player – at a gala dinner in Manchester's Victoria Warehouse on April 26; the ceremony had been held for the 25 previous years at the Grosvenor Hotel in London.
Jordan Henderson, Liverpool's captain, had been the long-time favourite for the prize, with his team-mate Sadio Mane and Manchester City's Kevin De Bruyne also in the running.
