The Premier League announced this Friday morning the postponement of another match this weekend. It is the confrontation between Burnley and Everton, previously scheduled for next Sunday.
The Premier League Council responded to Everton’s request that, due to injuries and infections by covid-19, they won’t have enough players to play in the match.
Last Thursday, the League had already announced the postponement of two games: Wolverhampton vs Watford and Liverpool vs Leeds United.
Everton’s request to postpone their Boxing Day away fixture at Burnley has been approved following a Premier League Board meeting this morning
