All Premier League players have finally launched an initiative called #PlayersTogether to fight COVID-19.
The initiative will help generate funds for the National Health Service frontline and distribute them where they are needed most.
It has partnered with NHS Charities Together (NHSCT).
In a statement posted by more than 150 Premier League players including Jordan Henderson, Harry Kane and Marcus Rashford on social media said they were collaborating together to create a voluntary initiative, separate to any other league and club conversation.
The intention, they said, was to “try and help, along with so many others in the country, to make a real difference”.
The level of contributions has not been announced but the players said the initiative would help quickly grant funds to the NHS frontline.
More than 7,000 people have died with coronavirus in the UK, according to the latest Department of Health figures.
