The Premier League is holding secret briefing sessions with clubs over plans and preparations for the spread of the Coronavirus.

Although only 17 people have been infected in the UK so far governments and stock markets appear to think a pandemic is now inevitable.

The government would most likely suspend major public gatherings including Premier League following lead of countries like Japan and Italy.

The Premier League is looking at different scenarios should the virus spread wider in the UK population.

Options include the postponement of league fixtures or playing games behind closed doors.

Claret and Hugh approached the Premier League, London Stadium 185 and West Ham United press offices with a number of questions about Coronavirus preparations and planning but after 24 hours we have yet to receive a response or statement from any of the three organisations.

The Premier League is currently scheduled to end on Sunday 17 May 2020 but that could well be extended.
