Top-flight captains confirmed on Wednesday that players across the country have come together to launch the initiative, designed to “help those fighting for us on the NHS frontline” amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Health Secretary Matt Hancock called on footballers to play their part amid the global crisis last week, but it is believed ‘Players Together’ has already raised more than £4million for the NHS.

Chris Smalling told to snub lucrative Man Utd return and push for Roma transfer

Chris Smalling should snub a return to Manchester United and stay at Roma, says Serie A expert James Richardson. The England international was shipped out in the summer following the £80m arrival of Harry Maguire from Leicester. Eyebrows were raised by Smalling’s decision to test himself outside of the Premier League. But the 30-year-old has looked the real deal in Rome, with 28 appearances and two goals to his name. Richardson, who hosted Football Italia on Channel 4 in the 90s, says the London-born centre-back has proved the doubters wrong. “I’ve been amazed at how well he’s done. He's not always perfect, but really, really good,” Richardson said.
