The corona pandemic throws the English Premier League calendar upside down. Now more games had to be canceled due to Corona – including the match from Arsenal.
The next games in the English Premier League have been canceled due to corona. The game between Leeds United and Aston Villa scheduled for Tuesday will not take place after Leeds’ game at Liverpool FC, which was scheduled for this Sunday, had to be postponed. The Wolverhampton Wanderers duel at Arsenal FC will not kick off on Tuesday either.
Wolverhampton’s request to postpone the game has been accepted because the Wanderers do not have the required number of players for the game due to a number of Covid-19 cases and injuries, the league said. Wolverhampton’s game against Watford FC had already been canceled on Sunday. With the duel between Burnley FC and Everton, a total of three games on the 19th matchday on Boxing Day were canceled due to corona.
Many players are still in isolation
At Leeds United, there were no new corona cases in the squad, but the majority of those who tested positive before the Liverpool game are not yet out of isolation, the club said. Therefore, there are not enough players available.
In total, the Premier League canceled 15 games in the last two and a half weeks due to corona cases in different teams.
