In the English Premier League, the next game on the traditional game day on Boxing Day has also been canceled due to Corona cases.
The league canceled the game between Burnley FC and Everton FC on Friday that was scheduled for Boxing Day on Sunday.
The matches between Liverpool FC and Leeds United and between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Watford FC had already been canceled on Thursday.
Everton asked for the cancellation, it said in the message from the Premier League on Christmas Eve. Since there are also other injured players in the team affected by Corona cases, there are no longer enough professionals available for the game in Burnley.
On the previous day of the Premier League last weekend, only four of the ten scheduled matches could take place, the games of Burnley and Everton were also canceled.
At a meeting on Monday, all the clubs agreed not to take a break over Christmas. Six more games are to take place on Sunday.
