​Brighton defender Dan Burn: We need the fans

Brighton defender Dan Burn would prefer not to play behind closed doors.

The Premier League has suspended matches until at least April 3 due to the coronavirus pandemic.

It has been suggested the remaining nine games of the season could be played behind closed doors.

Burn told Sky Sports: "From a personal point of view, it would be a bit strange.

"I don't think you can really play football without the fans and that is what you want to grow up and do.

"You want to play in front of big stadiums, but obviously it is unprecedented the stuff that is happening at the minute, so you just have to do whatever the government and the Premier League thinks is best and take it from there."
