In a series of tweets, Diop wrote:
"Can't believe what's happening. The Premier League is postponed because of the virus? What about the fans who have been waiting for months to see their teams play? What about the players who have been training hard to stay fit? What about the staff who have been working tirelessly behind the scenes?
"I understand the situation is serious, but we need to find a solution. We can't just stop playing. We need to think about the fans, the players, the staff... everyone involved in the game.
"I'm not saying we should play with no fans, but we need to find a way to make it work. We can't just stop. It's not fair to anyone.
"I hope the Premier League and the government can find a solution soon. We need to get back to playing football."
Diop's tweets sparked a lot of debate and discussion on social media, with many fans and pundits weighing in on the issue. While some agreed with Diop's sentiments, others felt that the decision to postpone matches was necessary to prioritize public health and safety.
