'There may be no alternative' - Premier League stars 'realistic' about prospect of playing behind closed doors, says PFA chief

The deputy chief executive of the Professional Footballers' Association says players understand compromises will have to be made if play is to resume

Premier League players are willing to compromise and play games behind closed doors if it is the only option to finish the season, according to Professional Footballers’ Association (PFA) deputy chief executive Bobby Barnes.

The last Premier League game to take place was Leicester’s 4-0 win over Aston Villa on March 9, and the current suspension of the league until April 30 is widely expected to be extended as the coronavirus continues to spread.
