The EFL have confirmed that the legague will be postponed indefinitely as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

The organisation released a statement today, saying that a decision to postpone the competitions 'until it's safe to resume' in conjunction with the Premier League, FA and Barclays FA Women’s Super League and FA Women’s Championship.

A section of the statement on the EFL's website reads: "Football is committed in supporting the Government’s efforts in tackling the Covid-19 outbreak and the staging of football matches in this country.

"It is clearly something that simply cannot happen at this time. The thoughts of everyone associated with the EFL and its member Clubs are with anyone currently affected by the coronavirus.

"The situation will be kept under constant review with matches only returning at an appropriate point and based on the latest guidance provided by the relevant Government departments and health authorities.

"The EFL also notes and appreciates the decision taken today by the Premier League in respect of the short-term financial relief it is to provide EFL Clubs through the advancement of solidarity payments, parachute payments and Academy Grants.

"These actions will have a positive impact on individual Clubs across our three divisions at a difficult and uncertain time."
