West Ham's Rice glad of virus relief from relegation stress

Declan Rice has said one of the "nicer" consequences of the coronavirus outbreak is that it has temporarily removed the "stress" of West Ham's fight against Premier League relegation. The Hammers were above the bottom three on goal difference with nine games to play when the English top flight was suspended last month as a result of the pandemic. England midfielder Rice said while he was missing being around his team-mates at the east London club there were some benefits from the unexpected break.
