Aston Villa manager Gemma Davies believes the club must embrace the uncertainty caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and make the most of the enforced break to the football season.

The Villans were unbeaten in the FA Women’s Championship and six points clear at the summit of the table with six games remaining before the global coronavirus crisis struck.

All women’s football is currently suspended and will only return when it is safe and appropriate to do so, with the restart date under constant review with all stakeholders.
