Premier League chief executive Richard Masters has written to parliamentary sports committee chairman Julian Knight defending clubs furloughing staff.

In his letter, Masters also claimed that the Premier League faces losses of at least £1billion if the 2019/20 season is not completed.

Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur, Bournemouth and Norwich City recently confirmed that all non-playing staff have been placed on furlough leave, while Liverpool reversed their decision to place some non-playing staff on temporary leave and apologised to fans for the move on Monday night.

The decision came after Liverpool received criticism for originally announcing they would be placing staff on the government-funded scheme.
