All senior football in England will be suspended until April 30 at the earliest as a result of the Coronavirus outbreak.
The EFL had previously stated that the league season would resume on April 4, but this has been pushed back further as a result of the Covid:19 pandemic.
It is thought that authorities wish to complete the campaign in the gap left following the postponement of EURO 2020.
The EFL's statement in full can be seen below.
