EFL suspends fixtures due to Coronavirus

The English Football League has made the decision to call off football games between now and 'at least' the 3rd of April.

It's been done as a precautionary measure to protect players and staff from the spread of coronavirus.

It's understood Pompey players have been sent home to self isolate after Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta tested positive for COVID-19. Arsenal visited Fratton Park for a FA Cup tie earlier this month.

No games will be taking place between clubs in the Championship, League One, or League Two until this suspension is lifted.
