Aston Villa will have a significant drop in the next two Premier League games. The Birmingham club said on Saturday that coach Steven Gerrard tested positive for covid-19 and will not lead the team against Chelsea and Leeds United.
The match against Chelsea, valid for the 19th and final round of the first round of the national competition, will be played this Sunday, at Villa Park. The clash with Leeds is scheduled for Tuesday, at Elland Road.
Last week, the match against Burnley was postponed due to the high number of coronavirus cases at Aston Villa. The UK is at a critical juncture with the infected increase, and several Premier League games are being rescheduled.
Aston Villa is the 10th place in the Premier League, with 22 points. Since the arrival of Gerrard, the club has won four and two defeats.
