"I would understand, yes, under the circumstances," he told the MEN about the prospect of playing games behind closed doors or even suspending the season.
"Of course it’s up to the experts to decide and the main concern must be the health of the general public and the decision that will be made we will back.
"The players are focused and just concentrating on the job, of course these are difficult circumstances, not just for football but in the whole society.
"For us, we just have to do what we’re told, and get on with the game if that’s what the authorities think we should do.
"They’ve been the same, they’ve prepared for the game as we normally do."
