Norwich City boss Daniel Farke will be happy to shake hands with Sheffield United counterpart Chris Wilder.

Farke will ignore the Premier League's coronavirus edict and shake hands with Wilder on Saturday.

Top-flight players and coaches have been asked to dispense with the pre-match ritual amid fears over spreading the virus, but Farke said: "I will definitely shake hands with Chris because, on the one hand, it is important to be careful but, on the other hand, not to panic too much."

The move is one of a host of steps set to be taken by the Premier League, who are now considering banning fans over the age of 70 from attending matches due to their higher risk of contracting the virus.
