French sports minister Roxana Maracineanu on Thursday called for the French league to end the Ligue 1 season and hit out at football clubs and players for a "lack of empathy" during the coronavirus pandemic.
The league will hold a teleconference on Thursday to discuss what to do next, after Prime Minister Edouard Philippe said this week the "2019-20 professional sports leagues, notably football, cannot restart".
"A decision has to be made," Maracineanu told radio station RTL.
"The signal that the prime minister gave was clear and simple. We expect sporting bodies to assume their responsibilities as we do."
