Reading midfielder Charlie Adam on postponing Euro 2020: "I think it has to be put back a year, I think they just have to forget about it because the competition's not started.

"I think the prime focus should be the Premier League and the EFL at the moment and the leagues around the world that are not completed.

"You must complete the leagues, you know the season can’t finish without the completion of relegations, promotions or Champions. You’ve got to play a 38-game season in the Premier League and then we’ll go from there."

Manchester United

Manchester United have triggered the clause extending Nemanja Matic's contract by a year - and are in talks about lengthening it further, the PA news agency understands.

The 31-year-old swapped Chelsea for Old Trafford in 2017, signing a three-year deal with the option of an additional season.

United have moved to keep Matic at the club by invoking that clause, although an agreement could yet be reached to keep him at the club even longer.

British Swimming have cancelled their Olympic swimming trials and announced that the FINA Diving World Series event, scheduled to take place in London at the end of the month, will not take place at this time.

The Tokyo 2020 trials were scheduled to run from 14-19 April, also at the London Aquatics Centre.

As a result of the changes, which impact Olympic and Paralympic qualification guidelines, British Swimming will review their policy on selection for the Tokyo 2020 Games.

Moving Euro 2020, due to take place at venues across Europe from 12 June to 12 July, to next summer would free up more time to complete domestic and European fixtures.

However, that would then impact on next year's calendar.

Both the Women's European Championship, hosted by England, and the men's European Under-21 Championship, in Hungary and Slovenia, are scheduled for the summer of 2021. The Nations League, the draw for which was held earlier in March, is due to be completed next spring.

In addition, the first edition of the expanded Fifa Club World Cup is set to be held in China in June.

Due to the growing number of countries affected by the COVID-19 virus, the first three meetings of the 2020 Wanda Diamond League season, scheduled for 17th April in Qatar, 9th and 16th May in China, cannot be held as planned.

Efforts will be made to hold them later in the season. Stockholm, on May 24th, becomes the new season-opener at this stage.

Arsenal and Chelsea remain in self-isolation, while Crystal Palace's training ground remains closed. Watford and West Ham are expected to resume training later in the week, according to the Evening Standard.

England Athletics has advised that all face-to-face activity such as club training sessions, events, competitions, club committee and face-to-face meetings, athlete camps, running groups and social events should be suspended until at least the end of April.

Both Champions League and Europa League tournaments are at their last-16 stage, with six matchdays remaining, including the final. There are still 14 last-16 ties across the two competitions to be completed.

Playing the quarter-finals and semi-finals as one-off games would cut two fixtures off the remaining schedule.

Playing them over a handful of days as a mini-tournament - in Istanbul and Gdansk, host cities for this season's finals - would concentrate the matches even further, cutting down on travelling and cause the least disruption to the domestic leagues.

It has not been ruled out these games could be played in conjunction with league matches - nor does the Champions League final have to mark the end of the club campaign as tradition dictates.

A mini-tournament to decide the Champions League and Europa League will be one option put forward today in Uefa's video conference to ease fixture congestion caused by the coronavirus outbreak.

Euro 2020 is set to be postponed to allow league seasons to be completed.

A source close to the situation says all parties must be ready to sacrifice something to reach a solution.

The National League has now suspended all fixtures until 3 April and the Football Association has advised all grassroots football in England be postponed due to the coronavirus outbreak.

On 13 March, all games were suspended for at least three weeks in England's Premier League, EFL, Women's Super League and the Women's Championship.

The National League initially decided to carry on playing games on Saturday.

But yesterday they said playing on was not practical in the immediate future.

Japan's Olympic minister confirmed Prime Minister Shinzo Abe considers the "complete" hosting of the Olympics to mean that they will be held on time and with spectators in attendance, despite worries about the impact of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

"That's correct, that's what we are aiming for," said Seiko Hashimoto when asked in a press conference if this was indeed the intention.

"We will do our utmost to prepare [to host the Olympics] as scheduled so that the International Olympic Committee will be convinced we are capable of hosting the games."

The Court of Arbitration for Sport put a note out last night saying all cases were being put on hold until the beginning of May.

This means Manchester City's appeal against a two-year ban from the Champions League is on hold.

City are yet to ask for the ban to be put on hold.

Trainer of Tiger Roll, Gordon Elliott, reveals that the horse is likely to compete in next year's Grand National - going for a third unprecedented win in the race and potentially usurping Red Rum's record.

"This is disappointing but everyone from Aintree and involved in it has to do what’s right to get everything back on track. We're all on the one team, you know," he told the Today Programme.

"There is every chance of him competing [next year] and he hasn’t got that many miles on the clock. We will be training him back for the Grand National again."

Yesterday, The Grand National, due to take place on 4 April, was cancelled.

The Jockey Club said "it is no longer appropriate to stage the event" after the UK government advised against mass gatherings.

It said that running the race behind closed doors at Aintree was "no longer a viable consideration".

"Public health must come first," said Sandy Dudgeon, senior steward of The Jockey Club.

The first of today's meetings crucial meetings, between UEFA, the European Clubs' Association, European Leagues and world players' union FIFPro is due to get under way shortly.

This will be followed by a meeting of all 55 UEFA members, including the Football Association, and then the organisation's executive committee, who are responsible for making all the decisions.

They will be the ones who decide whether Euro 2020 will be moved.

The IOC have today kicked off a round of internal briefings and discussions with federations and national Olympic Committees to assess the impact of the coronavirus on the Tokyo Games.

No decision is expected from the IOC this week, with tens of billions of dollars already invested in the infrastructure and venues by Japan, the IOC and global and domestic sponsors and broadcast rights holders.

"There will be a series of conference calls over the coming days to discuss the issues," a source with the Olympic movement told Reuters.

"The IOC will be informing federations and NOCs about the situation and discuss with them issues linked to the Games and the qualification process as well. There are problems there."

Manchester United have told their players not to report for training following the updated coronavirus advice.

United had been training since their Europa League last-16 victory behind closed doors at LASK last Thursday.

However, the club have now told their squad to stay away from Carrington, although the situation is under constant review.

United's next game is due to be at Brighton in the Premier League on 4 April, although that match seems highly unlikely to go ahead, with the Premier League clubs due to meet to discuss the situation on Thursday.

European football's powerbrokers will meet by video conference today to discuss how to deal with the fallout from the coronavirus crisis that has caused the game to grind to a halt.
