(UTV | Colombo) – Wolves and Portugal forward Diogo Jota believes the Premier League will be completed despite the cancellation of some other European leagues because of coronavirus.
The Dutch Eredivisie season was abandoned on Friday and Belgium’s top flight is set to follow suit.
But the UK government is setting up meetings in a bid to help elite sport resume as quickly as possible.
“I believe the Premier League can finish,” Jota told BBC Sport.
The 23-year-old, who beat Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold to win the ePremier League Invitational Fifa 20 tournament on Saturday, added: “We don’t need to look to other countries. Each country has its own problems and has to deal with them individually.
“Although some leagues can end right away, others can start sooner. I know almost every country in the world has the Premier League as one of the leagues to watch so it is major that we can finish the season.
“Obviously health is first and when everything is ready to go we can finish the season.”
