Coronavirus: EFL warns ‘suitable testing’ must be in place before football returns

In a statement, the EFL said: “Clearly, before any return to football can take place, suitable testing. arrangements for participants must be in place and this is core to our current planning, as is ensuring there is absolutely no negative impact on the country’s front-line workers, the emergency services, league and club staff members.”

The EFL says it will continue to work with all stakeholders, including the Premier League and the Football Association, to determine key details including the scheduling of fixtures, promotion, relegation and the timing of transfer windows.
