Following Sunderland...... I know they're already in Tier 3......? The L1 table will look like a Sunday League in January with the disparagy of fixtures played.
https://www.theposh.com/news/2020/december/covid-19-update/ The fixture pile up won't help their promotion chances.
It’s fair enough really though if they already have one player down with it and at least 3 others displaying symptoms
The protocol from the Premier/Football League was that games must occur when scheduled to stop clubs cancelling games if their best player went down with it - even if this meant putting the youth team out. After the Newcastle precedent though this has obviously gone west.
