English Football League clubs will show their continued support for NHS key workers next weekend as the season resumes. 

Players will wear a shirt featuring an 'NHS Rainbow - Thank You' emblem and a period of applause will take place prior to all matches from June 18-21.

EFL chairman Rick Parry said: "As all eyes turn to the return of football on the pitch, it is important that the League pays fitting tribute to the thousands of NHS key workers that continue to work on the frontline, supporting the country throughout the Covid-19 crisis.

"We know that many fans of EFL clubs are also NHS key workers and we're proud of the commitment they, and our clubs, have shown to help the service over the past few months.

"By coming together across all remaining fixtures taking place, we hope we are able to show our gratitude and appreciation for their continued work and I'd like to ask all fans to join us in doing so."
