London: Former England and Manchester United defender Gary Neville slammed Football Association (FA) for trying to resume matches amid coronavirus pandemic. Plans are being put in place to resume group training in mid May and then play matches in June. Neville hit out at plan and said the decision was purely based on economic reasons.

“The FIFA medical officer said that football should not take place before September. I think if it was a non-economic decision there would be no football for months,” Gary Neville told Sky Sports.

“People are now assessing risk. How many people have to die playing football in the Premier League before it becomes unpalatable? One? One player? One member of staff goes into intensive care? What risk do we have to take? The discussion is purely economic.”(IANS)
