Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl has backed Premier League matches being staged behind closed doors in the wake of coronavirus.
Hasenhuttl believes top-flight chiefs should take any measures necessary in an attempt for this term's league programme to be completed.
Saints are currently preparing for Saturday's league match at Norwich to be staged as normal, but Hasenhuttl admitted the club is ready to help contain the spread of the virus.
Asked how he would feel about matches being played without fans, Hasenhuttl said: "I think it's for sure not the same sport if you want, when you play like that it feels more like a training game.
"But if we can manage to end the league with playing behind closed doors then it would help I think for the competition, it's important. In general I think the break that will come after this game is important.
