Leicester postponement

Disgrace

They don't actually have covid cases. Games getting called off for injury now. We shouldn't have to play again.

Not sure if this is true or not, but nabbed off Reddit:

Afcon: 4 (Ndidi, Mendy, Amartey, Iheanacho)

injured: 10 (Castagne, Ricardo, Fofana, Evans, Soyuncu, Justin, Thomas, Vardy, Daka, Bertrand)

covid/ unknown: 2 (Dewsbury-Hall, Soumaré)

So it's postponement over maybe 2 covid cases?

Farce season this - teams taking the pee with this situation.
They'll be law suits flying round from the relegated teams this year guaranteed.

I heard as early as Wednesday that Leicester had no intention of playing this game from a mate who has a contact at Leicester. Stinks.

Soon as the match was rearranged you knew with the AFCON being on they would get it postponed again.

Isn’t this a good thing? Leicester’s dregs would do us at the moment. Gives us time to get players back fit and get new signings implemented. On flip side also means more time on training ground with Benitez trying out his mad formations and instructions. Tough one.

You serious?

We can field most our players at home to Leicester missing half their team. Of course it would be a massive advantage if it went ahead

The Covid cancellation/postponement protocol is as transparent as VAR rulings. Whatever helps the big 6

Gnashers bottled it.

They’ll be doing us no matter what team they put out. Have you seen how we are playing?

So how does this match getting postponed help the big 6?

Dewsbury-Hall is an injury, Soumare has been reported as "illness" so wouldn't be surprised if he has Covid

I wanted the game to go ahead, but expected it would be postponed anyway

How disgraceful.

 

[tommytowne]

Like how many postponements are you allowed before forfeit cause it's getting silly

Blob on. 3-0 victory awarded to us.
A frigging joke all round.
Another asterisk season beckoning.

Joke

You can’t cancel a game with two covid cases…should be a forfeit if they say they can’t raise a team due to injuries
