Divock Origi says that it would be difficult to accept missing out on the Premier League title with Liverpool should the season be declared null and void.

Liverpool forward Divock Origi has admitted that it would be "painful" to miss out on the Premier League title because of the coronavirus pandemic.

The Reds hold a 25-point lead on second-placed Manchester City with a game in hand, leaving them within two wins of a first top-flight crown in three decades.

However, the season has been halted since early March due to the spread of COVID-19, with no restart date yet put forward.

Some have called for 2019-20 to be declared null and void, meaning that Liverpool would miss out on top spot, and Origi says that would be tough to take.

"We are not yet at the club," he is quoted as saying by The Mirror. "It's all pretty unclear here in England. We don't even train in small groups.

"It would be painful if we can't get that title now. But there are things in life that you cannot control. Safety is the most important thing now."

Origi has been tipped to leave Anfield at the end of the season after being restricted to a combined six starts in the Premier League and Champions League this term.
