The EFL have moved to quash any rumours doing the rounds and confirm that no decisions have yet been taken as to what happens next.
Football in the UK has been heavily impacted by coronavirus, with it announced on Friday that fixtures across the Premier League and EFL would be suspended.
Lasting until April 3 in the EFL and April 4 in the Premier League, there is still a high possibility that the suspension could be extended as the UK battles to quell the coronavirus outbreak.
With the government warning that the peak of the virus will not hit the UK for a few more weeks, the uncertainty has not been erased completely and there are plenty of questions that need to be answered.
Some from within the game have suggested that the season should be voided, while others believe competitions halted due to the coronavirus outbreak must eventually be completed.
But while there have been plenty of rumours as to what will happen next, the EFL have confirmed that nothing has been decided yet, and fans will be given a further update once the EFL board have met.
“The health and well-being of EFL staff, players, Club employees and supporters is of paramount importance and will be key to the decisions made by football during what is clearly an unprecedented situation facing our game,” a statement released on Monday morning read.
“It is with that in the forefront of the League’s mind that it notes the intense speculation that has appeared across the local, national and international media over the weekend.
“Whilst the League and its Board understand there is a strong desire from both the media and general public to understand what may happen next, there have, at this current time, been no decisions taken.
“The League also feels it inappropriate to respond to the many hypothetical solutions being suggested whilst the many unknowns remain. Given the fast paced environment and parameters we are currently working within, it is simply not practical to give a running commentary on what may happen.
“In the immediate short term we will continue with our contingency planning to deal with the implications the outbreak of Covid-19 has presented the EFL and its Clubs, in addition to liaising with the Government, health authorities and football partners.
“A further update will be given once the EFL Board has met this week.”
While EFL chairman Rick Parry added: “These are indeed challenging times for the League, its Clubs and the game as a whole.
"However, now is the time for cool heads and calm reflection, rather than speculation as we look to steer our competitions and Clubs through this period of uncertainty.”
