An-Najah News - Crystal Palace coach, Roy Hodgson, said that the current season of the English Premier League must be completed after the end of the comprehensive isolation procedures for the corona virus rather than using “artificial methods” to identify the champion.

“All people agree that we need to finish this season,” the 72-year-old coach told the club's website.

Football has been stalled in England since 13^th of March due to the corona virus pandemic, while Hodgson said teams must follow safety measures and play a large number of matches in a short period when the competition resumes.

An-Najah News - The marketing company that owns the International Champions Cup confirmed the cancellation of this year’s friendly tournament due to the Corona virus, which led to the cancellation of “El Classico” match between the two Spanish football giants.

The organizers of the tournament issued an official statement on "Twitter" confirming the cancellation of the next edition of the International Champions Cup, due to the outbreak of the Coruna virus, and therefore there will not be a classic match between the poles of Spanish football next summer as expected.

A classic match between the two poles of Spanish football was expected next summer, similar to what happened in the summer of 2017.

According to the statement, “The health of the players, technical managers, the fans and all who are related to this championship is the most important, the lack of clarity of vision regarding the duration of the isolation and the lifting of restrictions and the international football table, with the possibility of competing in various league matches in August, means that the International Champions Cup may be impossible to start”.
