If more positive tests come back today this game could be postponed.

When do we find out? And honestly if more positive tests come back then I think they seriously should break for winter for atleast 2 or 3 weeks

Don’t know but when the club have had positives tests in the camp they do test every day instead of every 2 days.

WTF?

Man City player Benjamin Mendy broke Covid rules by hosting a New Year’s Eve party

MAN City ace Benjamin Mendy hosted a party at his home on New Year’s Eve — just as five teammates were struck down with Covid. The star admitted he may have breached rules as pals outside his house…

Same thing happened with Fulham albeit a day prior so yes it would only be appropriate to postpone the game for the same reason if more first team squad members are tested positive the main reason being they are close contacts with other squad members and the risk of spread is too high.

You could have an asymptomatic or player not yet positive who plays their would be a high risk of him spreading it to another player from another team and it goes from there.

This is why you have limit movement , in the real world if you are serious about limiting spread all close contacts and their close contacts should also isolate for 14 days.

of course if this practice was adhered to one positive test and the team would be out of action for 14 days.

Broadcast money rules the roost over public health however so one set of rules for players and staff at a football club and another set of rules for the pleb but yes we are all in this together (LOL).
