Brighton and Hove Albion chief executive and deputy chairman Paul Barber said the Amex Stadium and their Performance Centre at Lancing could be used in the battle against coronavirus.

The club initiated talks with the local authority, NHS and Sussex Police and hope to make good use of their facilities while they are out of action.

The Premier League is suspended until further notice and the Lancing training facility is unused as the players are training with the help of group apps from their homes.
