Football Association (FA) chairman Greg Clarke admitted fans must realise that they will not be allowed back into stadiums for the foreseeable future when games resume.
The majority of leagues are currently suspended across the world due to restrictions imposed amid the coronavirus pandemic, though several divisions, including the Bundesliga and the Premier League, are keen to resume when it is safe to do so.
However, the logistics of resuming such competitions still need to be ironed out and it appears clear that any matches will be staged behind closed doors, potentially at neutral venues.
