A guide to Premier League match postponements due to COVID-19
More details on the process by which recent fixtures have had to be called offwww.premierleague.com
Here are the rules in case anyone’s interested. A lot to digest in there. The U-21 players must be “appropriately experienced” (having played in a game (apart from FA cup 3rd round??) this season for any club). Also mentions “any other exceptional circumstances, which could mean AFCON in this case.
They signed African players. Them going to an African tournament is NOT exceptional circumstances.
The other thing we have going for us is that the PL is worried about scheduling the make up games they’re already juggling. They’ll be extremely loathe to give us another game in hand.
It might be different if this were a game between two teams with 20-21 played.
ThAt's RaCisT!!
They should go back and sign Ozil for the NLD
Into hiding....
Or all round to Martin Ødegaard's house to hug him!
EPL and cheating maggot gooner scum
IF it gets called off it can only be rearranged for when it suits US not them.
Make them play 2 games in 2 days.

Premier League rules on postponing matches due to COVID
The Premier League handbook itself states that the league's board can "only permit the rearrangement or postponement of a league match in exceptional circumstances".Decisions are made on a case-by-case basis for each club, and there are no set rules that will determine whether or not a fixture will get cancelled. According to the league, sporting and medical factors are taken into account in each of these decisions.
"Been alerted to Premier League handbook, which states if both clubs have 14 players (mainly outfielders) available then the fixture should be played. Safety and welfare is, of course, factored into decision-making regarding Covid cases as well"
Following the cancellation of Man United vs. Brentford match on Dec. 14, the Premier League introduced new "emergency measures" to combat the further spread of COVID-19, with the league's players and staff having to take a lateral flow test every day in order to access training grounds.
In addition to the daily tests to get into training grounds, players and staff are taking a PCR test at least twice a week.
Additional measures such as mask-wearing and social distancing continue to be enforced.

Right, this is fundamentally not a covid-related request, and so should not be judged by the special covid standards
I completely agree. Hopefully the League see it that way as well.
Get this shit over and done with. In fact get this month wrapped up and binned.
And the Covid circumstances make things genuinely different.
You can’t transmit a hamstring injury. Or dodgy lasagna. Or African citizenship.

If Woolwich genuinely cannot field the required amount of players but it is not a direct result of Covid absentees, then fine call the match off, but it should absolutely be a forfeit and not a postponement.
It will completely destroy what little integrity is left in the English game if the FA start allowing some of the biggest clubs in the league postpone matches due to problems largely of the applying clubs making.
