Many Liverpool fans have unsurprisingly taken today’s news well as it looks increasingly like the Premier League season will be completed at some point this year.

This is supported by an official statement, cited in the piece, in which it is stated the season will be postponed indefinitely, with the current return date pushed back until April 30.
