Fulham captain Cairney: I've no purpose without football

Fulham captain Tom Cairney says he has no purpose without football.

Football leagues around the world have been suspended due to the recent coronavirus pandemic.

The 29-year-old midfielder told talkSPORT: "We're so used to getting up at 9, get an omelette at half nine, get some treatment at 10, outside at half 10.

"It's that bit that's the big change. I haven't got a time to get up, I don't eat regularly, I miss meals.

"You're always just preparing for the next game or the next training session. When it all gets taken away you have no purpose.

"It's a really weird feeling."
