Premier League

Ighalo, Silva and Vertonghen.. the Prem players who may MISS end of season if it’s delayed due to coronavirus

A HOST of Premier League stars could miss the end of the season with the campaign set to be extended.

All games have been postponed until at least the first weekend of April although that could increase as the deadly coronavirus continues to spread globally.

Chelsea star Callum Hudson-Odoi and Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta have already tested positive for the virus while a host of squad members are self-isolating.

That includes West Ham boss David Moyes and fellow staff after they came into contact with Arteta during a league fixture.

Everton players have also been advised to isolate after a number of first-team stars showed symptoms.

Premier League chiefs will need to decide the best way to reschedule fixtures without it having an impact on next season.

But it will leave a whole host of players in limbo with their contracts expiring at the end of June.

It leaves question marks as to whether the players will be able to play if the campaign is extended beyond the end of June which is becoming increasingly likely.

High-profile names include the likes of Manchester City’s David Silva, Tottenham ace Jan Vertonghen and Man United’s on-loan striker Odion Ighalo.

Ighalo has been an integral figure for the Red Devils since his loan move from the Chinese Super League in January.
