Coronavirus: I Miss Football - Ighalo

 

Manchester United striker, Odion Jude Ighalo has said that he misses football amid the extensive suspension of sporting activities due to the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic.

Allnews reports that the English Premier League (EPL) and Football League's current season has been postponed until at least April 30 due to the coronavirus crisis, following a video conference meeting on Thursday.

The Football Association, Premier League, EFL and women's professional game bodies, along with players and managers associations, agreed to extend the formal end-date for the 2019/2020 season "indefinitely" in a bid to try to complete the campaign, they said in a joint statement.
