However, the French Professional Football League (LFP) had planned last week, over a possible resumption of the season on 17 June.

In a speech to the National Assembly on Tuesday, Philippe said he will not sanction the return of the sport, even behind closed doors, due to the risk of a second outbreak of the pandemic.

“The big sporting affairs cannot occur before September,” he said.

“The 2019/20 professional football season cannot return.”

The LFP will now meet to determine the best way to end the season, with debates around promotion, relegation, and European qualification to dominate the agenda.
