Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti expressed his concern over the spread of coronavirus, saying that "it is not a good time in the world".
"It is not a good time in the world, in England and Italy and around Europe, because of this pandemic," the club's official website quoted Ancelotti as saying.
However, despite the pandemic, the three-times Champions League-winning boss is looking on the brighter side of the things.
"But from the other aspect, the fact we have the possibility to walk and bike is important for ourselves - it is a good time for this. I met some supporters out biking, from a safe distance, of course," he said.
"In Italy, you are not allowed to do this. I am in contact with a lot of people in Italy and they are forced to stay at home, so it is not a good time for them," Ancelotti added.
Premier League has already announced that the 2019-20 season will only return 'when it is safe and appropriate to do so'.
