(Reuters) - Sheffield Wednesday chairman Dejphon Chansiri said on Thursday that player wages and ticket refunds will take longer to process with the club struggling to make ends meet after the COVID-19 pandemic hit their finances.

British media reported earlier this month that Wednesday players were seeking guidance from the Professional Footballers' Association after the second-tier Championship club failed to pay their salaries on time.
