Coronavirus update: The Football League are to follow the Premier League in banning pre-match handshakes between sets of players in a bid to halt the spread of the virus. As gestures go, it could scarcely be more pointless, but it does at least allow both governing bodies to be seen to be doing something.
Neither the Premier League nor the EFL have mentioned if they will also be forbidding players from spitting, blowing their noses, screaming in each other’s faces. For the time being at least, they will also allow tens of thousands of spectators to sit together in close proximity to each other and the pitch, coughing, sneezing and shouting.
