He therefore misses the home game in the Premier League against Arsenal on Boxing Day. “I have been tested positive again,” says the international. “Hopefully 2022 will bring better news for everyone.”
Several matches in the Premier League have already been canceled for Sunday, due to many corona cases at some clubs.
Steven Gerrard also tests positive
Aston Villa coach Steven Gerrard has tested positive for the corona virus as the umpteenth in a row in the Premier League. The former Liverpool star can therefore not be present at at least the next two matches of his club. Aston Villa will play first against Chelsea in the coming days and then against Leeds.
Gerrard recently came over from Rangers FC, where he was succeeded by Giovanni van Bronckhorst.
