(Reuters) - Major League Soccer is still planning to play a full season but said on Tuesday that it could soon run out of available dates due to the novel coronavirus outbreak.
MLS had been planning and hoping for a mid-May return having shut down the season on March 12 after just two weeks.
"We continue to learn more every day from the medical experts, and we expect to have additional details in the coming weeks regarding when we can return to play. With the U.S. death toll from COVID-19, the respiratory disease caused by the virus, at more than 24,400 on Tuesday, the MLS said there was little chance of a May return.
