It follows a £50m package in December which was made available by the Premier League to help clubs in League One and League Two.

EFL chair Rick Parry said: ‘This month has marked an unwelcome anniversary with supporters now being unable to attend matches for a 12-month period.

‘This is therefore a much welcome, timely package of support for clubs who have continued to incur significant costs without generating anywhere near normal levels of revenue.’
