Leeds United midfielder Mateusz Klich has told The Yorkshire Evening Post that he wants the season to be finished.

The Poland international has made it clear that he does not want the season to be cancelled.

The EFL released a statement on Wednesday saying that they want the season to be completed, while a new statement by the FA this afternoon has stated that matches will be suspended until April 30, but the campaign will finish.

Leeds midfielder Klich hopes that the season is finished, as he wants the chance to clinch promotion to the Premier League.

Klich told The Yorkshire Evening Post: “It would be strange if it turned out that we were playing for nothing. We are seven points ahead of the play-off zone with nine matches to go.

“We are very close to the Premier League. The cancellation of this season would be unfair in this case. I hope this won’t happen.”
