'The world without sport does not lose hope': National media in emotional out-pour as coronavirus spread halts football across the globe

The back pages this weekend are awash with an emotional out-pour, after the spread of coronavirus crippled the world of sport and brought all competitions to their knees.

All top level football leagues across Europe have been halted, as nations pull out extreme measures in order to combat the increasing spread of the potentially fatal virus.

The Premier League has been halted until at least April 3, with talk of the campaign being abandoned outright due to the sheer congestion of the football calendar. Many teams now fear it will be pushed back much further and will not resume until at least September.
