Leeds United and West Bromwich Albion are pushing for promotion to the Premier League, but the season may be put on hold.
Jamie Carragher has leapt to the defence of Leeds United and West Bromwich Albion on Twitter, as the Premier League and Football League looks set to be suspended due to coronavirus.
There are genuine fears that the football season could be cancelled, with some Premier League clubs pushing for the campaign to be made null and void according to the Independent.
That would be a scenario which Carragher would clearly wish to avoid, with Liverpool so close to winning their first ever Premier League title.
But Carragher also feels that cancelling the whole campaign would be awful for Leeds and West Brom, who are pushing for promotion.
And Carragher has claimed that next season should not start until this one has finished, however long that takes.
Leeds and West Brom currently have a healthy advantage in the Championship, and look heavy favourites to earn promotion now.
The disruption is a concern though, with both the Premier League and EFL holding emergency meetings today to discuss the next course of action.
Leeds were scheduled to play Cardiff City this weekend while West Brom were meant to take on Birmingham City, but it is highly unlikely that either game will go ahead.
