Maritzburg United coach Eric Tinkler believes that the Absa Premiership will have to take guidance from Fifa on how to proceed with the remaining league fixtures once the coronavirus pandemic has passed.

Clubs across Europe are beginning to plan a way forward as they look at different options to cram in the remaining fixtures of their respective leagues.

The Team of Choice coach, though, believes that the league will have to follow the lead of Fifa when planning to finish the league season and not just follow the European leagues’ lead.

‘Ours is a complicated situation,’ said Tinkler.

‘People are looking at what will happen in Europe. But realistically, we have to see what Fifa has to say.

‘What is Fifa going to do because there are a lot of complications, we are hoping that everybody can get back to playing as soon as possible.

‘Our situations right now don’t permit that, so we just have to be a little bit patient to see how long this will take.’
