“It’s not that cool right now”said Klopp. When asked whether the club is aiming to postpone the top league game on Sunday (02/02/2022) at Chelsea, he said: “Not yet, but you never know. We haven’t had an outbreak with ten, 15, 20 players, but it’s another one every day.” Every morning it feels like a lottery waiting for the result. Klopp did not mention the names of the positive professionals, as PCR tests are still pending. In the past few weeks, several players like Virgil van Dijk had tested positive at Liverpool.
18th game canceled
In the Premier League, the 18th game in the past three weeks has been canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic. The game between Southampton FC and Newcastle United cannot take place on Sunday as planned and must be postponed at the request of the guests, as the league announced. Newcastle does not have the necessary professionals – 13 field players and a goalkeeper – due to numerous corona cases and injuries. Previously, Newcastle United’s game at Everton FC last Thursday was canceled.
