MANCHESTER - The players union representing Premier League footballers has questioned the league's call for a 30% player wage reduction amid the coronavirus crisis, saying it would reduce tax revenue for the National Health Service.

The talks on Saturday were not described as a negotiation and no decision was expected to be taken, but the PFA issued a statement which questioned the logic of the league's stance. The PFA added that the proposed 30% salary deduction over a 12-month period would equate to over £500 million in wage reductions and a loss in tax contributions of over 200 million to the government.
