The Premier League has dismissed claims made by Udinese director Pierpaolo Marino about the current season being cancelled.
The Serie A club’s director had suggested that the Premier League campaign was set to be brought to an abrupt halt because of the coronavirus crisis.
Marino, whose Udinese outfit are controlled by the Pozzo family, who own Premier League club Watford, claimed the Premier League was poised to follow in the footsteps of the Belgian Federation, which announced the cancellation of the Pro League campaign last week.
However, a Premier League spokesman has now denied the claims made by Marino and they have been branded inaccurate.
Speaking to SportItalia, Marino had said: “The Belgian Federation has already sanctioned the end of their league, despite the threats of sanctions from UEFA.
“In England, the Premier League is about to release a similar statement, because the situation there is becoming very, very serious. I frankly just hope we can enjoy football again after the coronavirus.
“It doesn’t matter how long it takes, we need to get out of this danger zone. I am worried for the next seasons, not the old one.”
