I was really excited about Everton-Manchester City match. But unfortunately, it was postponed due to a high increase in coronavirus cases at Manchester City. I hope the players get well in a short time and we can enjoy watching this match.
This can potentially be a big problem for City. They already were 1 game behind most teams, after this round they will have 2 games that they will have to put into an already congested fixtures list. They are still in all competitions, even the Carling cup, I really do not know when will they play their postponed games - especially if they have to reschedule a few more because of the festive period. Their next game is Chelsea on Sunday, I wonder what happens with that one.
If I'm tracking it correctly, City has 9 positive cases in their team. No way they will be allowed to play as a team in the next 10 days or so.
Also, what happens with the league if situations like these start to occur in more clubs?
on the contrary.
In mypoint of view, the English Football Association made a mistake to postpone the City matches, and the team was supposed to play with what they got of players, or to postpone all the overlapping club matches with it Justice, equal opportunity and controversy ...
The Football Association decided to postpone the City and Everton match, due to the presence of 5 new injuries that were not announced in Manchester's ranks.
and the protocol in England says that the match is only canceled if the team’s list is not completed. Here there is no such case because the team’s number of injuries does not exceed 10, and therefore the match was postponed.
So some teams will benefit from this like also
Manchester United for example if his match with City was postponed because he would go to meet Tottenham in a comfortable 5 days, while the Spurs would enter the match in a rest for only two days !!
