'Who'll get the balls back in empty stadiums?' - Blackburn boss Mowbray says forcing league restarts 'doesn't make sense'

Blackburn manager Tony Mowbray has questioned the wisdom of football's return during the era of social distancing, saying the idea "doesn't make sense".

Mowbray's side sat three points outside of the play-off places in the Championship when football was brought to a halt in March due to the spread of the coronavirus.

The English Football League has said it remains committed to finding a way to finish the 2019-20 campaign, but it remains unclear if it will be able to do so.
