FIFA’s medical committee chairman Michel D’Hooghe has said football should not be played until at least the start of September to limit the spread of the new coronavirus and when it does resume that yellow cards be handed out for spitting.

D’Hooghe told Sky Sports if there is one moment where absolute priority should be given to medical matters, then it is this one.

He says this is not a matter of money but of life and death.

He adds this is the most dramatic situation we have lived in since the Second World War adding we should not underestimate it, we must be realistic.
