Charlton Athletic manager Lee Bowyer has asked the EFL to provide further clarification on when the season is expected to restart, claiming that currently there are "grey areas."

Although no date has been put on when we are expected to see the league recommence, as of Thursday, the EFL has announced that the professional game in England will be postponed further until no earlier than 30 April, with the FA Board indefinitely extending its previous limit for the season to finish no later than 1 June due to the current scenario.

Speaking to the South London Press' Richard Cawley, Charlton's manager has urged to give clubs guidance with regards to how they go about training and preparing despite no fixed date being given for the leagues to resume.

"They (EFL) need to step up now and give us some real guidance - at the moment there hasn't been any guidance," he said.

“If you look at the cases up and down the country then quite a lot are in London but there are hardly any up north, so it’s okay for northern clubs to carry on normally. Whereas in London it isn’t really like that. It is more dangerous."

According to London News Online, the Addicks will resume first-team training on Friday, despite the latest postponement being announced.

“The EFL should say that everyone stops training or everyone trains like normal so at least we’re not making the wrong decision for peoples’ health," Bowyer added.

As it stands, clubs up and down the country are taking different approaches to training, with no fixed guideline put in place by the EFL as of yet.

Charlton have nine games left of the season, and currently sit in 22nd place in the Championship, two points from safety.

The Verdict

Lee Bowyer is correct here, as many clubs are unaware of how they should be going about things, which could potentially be increasing the risk of the players to the virus.

It is up to the governing body to send a clear message, with strict quarantine measures yet to be put in place by the Government as of now.

However, the EFL's last communication has shown that they serious in their concern. There is now no football to be played for over a month.
