All Premier\u00a0League players have finally launched an initiative called #PlayersTogether to fight COVID-19.<\/p>\n
The initiative will help generate funds for the National Health Service frontline and distribute them where they are needed most.<\/p>\n
It has partnered with NHS Charities Together (NHSCT).<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
The intention, they said, was to “try and help, along with so many others in the country, to make a real difference”.<\/p>\n
The level of contributions has not been announced but the players said the initiative would help quickly grant funds to the NHS frontline.<\/p>\n
More than 7,000 people have died with coronavirus in the UK, according to the\u00a0latest Department of Health figures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
