Looking at their fixtures by the time this game is rescheduled all the main heads, Digne, Allan, Little Ricky etc will be back. It’ll be as late as April this gets played.
Unless you were one of the 2000 going tonight, this happening is not a bad thing at all.

Some rest is good news for the blues.

I really don't understand the logic. This is a virus that is undetectable for several days after infection, and spreads exponentially.

So either football is automatically suspended when any player or member of staff gets COVID, or you have a set threshold for infections before it is if you're not arsed about risk.

You can't just have an arbitrary system where a club at any given time can't be arsed playing.

If this is the precedent, if Calvert-Lewin gets COVID, we should postpone until he's fit again.

 

[Country Mac]

Good news. Our team was going to be full blown AIDS tonight.

 

[duncs pigeon]

City have at least 6/7 players out, on top of 5/6 staff

That’s an outbreak. It’s not worth risking our players and our safety by playing them.

100% this

 

[JohnJq]

Why doesn't this mean they forfeit the game?

A 28-0 win would have put us top.

 

[EFCINLONDON]

Great news given our injuries

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

Kyle Walker and his “professional female friends” strike again!

 

[Goat]

Feel sorry for the fans who had tickets for tonight.

The boy had a ticket, he's gutted.

 

[billybadger]

Glad it’s off,all our key players are injured and playing 2 games in 48 hours was absolutely ridiculous anyway

 

[Mkjjones]

I want 3 pts what is this bs, it’s their fault not ours and we don’t want to play another game later so appeal for 3 pts now!

 

[Prevenger17]

The boy had a ticket, he's gutted.

He might have been more gutted at what he could have witnessed

 

[JMT]

West Ham played yesterday AND tomorrow while we get 6 days of rest, I'll take this all day.
5 wins on the bounce here we go.

The way Covid is spreading right now you have to say that there is a a significant chance the season is not going to be fully concluded.

 

[RomanReigns]

So technically we are unbeaten in the league in December then
