Posted Wednesday, April 29, 2020 by Marca.com
Football could be forced to rest in its current dormant state until September.
COVID-19 has forced the game into an unplanned break and despite countries readying for a return, the wait could be extended.
Michel D'Hooghe, chairman of FIFA's medical committee believes that the game shouldn't return before September 1.
"The world isn't ready for competitive football to return," D'Hooghe told Sky Sports.
"I hope it can change quickly, but we need more patience.
"It's the most dramatic situation we've faced since World War II, we can't underestimate it.
"We have to be realistic and football is only possible if contact is possible."
