Covid outbreak | Pep is back, new positive cases (pg 39)

[blueparrot]

Depends when they tested positive I guess. And if they’re doing any kind of training at home depending on symptoms etc

Think Chelsea is more likely the game to get postponed of the 2

No reason to call it off. 7 first team squad players positive, of which most would probably not have played in this game anyway (Obviously depending on who has and hasn’t got it)

There’s no reason for any top flight teams to have postponements. They all have plenty of kids to call upon from their various EDS and youth teams. Which is why it’s a farce Liverpool got theirs postponed yesterday with a combination of Injuries, covid and players at AFCON.

They wouldn't have kicked a ball or trained in that time.

They can train at home

Imagine the outcry if we got a game cancelled due to covid. Despite every other club doing it.

I'm sure Swindon have had further cases

 

[SWP's back]

needs called off surely!

In FA Cup, it goes ahead so long as there are 14 fit players (including under 23’s) including 1 keeper.

 

[manchester blue]

We've got the biggest squad in the world. We will be okay.

It’s never good to get Covid but if the major of our top player have it once cleared up that will keep them immune from it for a few months at least

 

[youngbob]

Who are the players then?

 

[DMA's]

They can train at home

It’s hardly the same though is it as high intensity training at the training ground.

Chelsea now becomes a very difficult game with a largely undercooked squad. It’s exactly why I didn’t like some posters saying the title was done. In this current climate with COVID we could easily drop points due to losing key players at bad moments.
