Leeds United would be "really disappointed" if the current season was scrapped and they were denied promotion to the Premier League by the coronavirus pandemic, according to a member of Sheffield United's top-flight squad.
Leeds are seven points clear of third place in the Championship, with West Brom a point behind them in second.
And Simon Moore, the Blades goalkeeper, admitted: “The teams at the top of their leagues will be really disappointed if it was scrapped, having worked so hard to get where they are - particularly the ones trying to get into the Premier League.
“It’s going to be tough financially for many clubs - particularly those further down the football pyramid, who rely on fans. They’re the ones who will take the biggest hit.
“It shows how big an industry football is. It brings a lot of entertainment and talking points.
“The whole world has really missed football. But there are more important things going on in the world - people’s safety is first and foremost."
