Brighton chief exec Paul Barber can't rule out the Premier League season being scrapped.

The season has been suspended for three weeks due to the coronavirus scare in the UK.

Barber told BBC Sport: “We don't want to go down this option because every league starts with an expectation of completing all the fixtures and we really want to be able to do that.

"Our intention must be to try and complete matches but we've got to put people's health first.

“At the moment, it's really hard to imagine putting on a football game in the Premier League in two or three weeks time, it's hard to imagine that given the scenario that we are in.

“There's probably about 200-300 things on this list that we're working through to try and prepare ourselves for every eventuality. Our priority and the Premier League's priority is to play out the remainder of the season, that's what we all want, that's what the fans want and it's what the clubs want.

“But we also have to be realistic, we really don't know where this virus is heading, where we will be on 4th April, when we intend to start playing games, and whether we can complete the fixture list."
