This is what Joe Lolley has planned while Nottingham Forest's games are suspended due to coronavirus

Nottingham Forest winger Joe Lolley has found the perfect way to pass the time while the coronavirus suspension takes hold.

The English Football League decided to halt play until April 3 on Friday in a bid to combat the spread of COVID-19.

Forest's games against Sheffield Wednesday, Huddersfield Town and Bristol City have been called off while there are fears that the League might not restart until well after the beginning of April.

Sabri Lamouchi's side are in fifth place and gunning for promotion with only nine games left to play.

Lolley has been at the heart of Forest's finest season for a while, notching seven goals and the same number of assists.

However, he like the rest of his squad will have to find another way to occupy their time.

And he's chosen the popular 'Football Manager' game to sink his teeth into.

"So, this is me for the next weeks/months," he tweeted on Sunday, captioning a picture of Football Manager on his laptop.

Lolley also talked tactics with his followers, with the 27-year-old favouring a 4-3-3 formation at present.

Forest could be forced to play well into the summer if, as expected, the European Championships - due to be held this summer - are pushed back a year.
