Union study finds footballers in England anxious over future

The coronavirus lockdown is having an impact on the mental health of footballers in England, according to a study by their union. Around 70% of Professional Footballers' Association members who responded to a survey over the last month said they were worried about their futures in the sport or their livelihood. ''Some of the players at the lower division clubs are on short-term contracts that are up and some of them are living from paycheck to paycheck,'' Professional Footballers' Association welfare director Michael Bennett told The Associated Press.
