Before meeting Leicester (4 p.m.), this Sunday during the traditional Boxing Day, Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola called on supporters to be vaccinated against Covid-19, to respect barrier gestures and to wear the mask in the stadiums to avoid the return of closed doors.
“Honestly, I wouldn't like that.
You can't imagine how different it is to play with a crowd, ”explained the Spanish coach.
Faced with the resurgence of cases of Covid-19 in Great Britain, in particular because of the Omicron variant, the Catalan calls for caution: “The cases (of Covid-19) are increasing all over the world.
People go to stadiums and can infect each other.
In the stadiums, people do not wear masks.
This is what surprises me the most.
We should start over: vaccination, recall if that is what is decided, but also respect for barrier gestures, washing hands, respecting social distancing and wearing a mask, ”he announced.
We can confirm our fixture with Leeds United at Anfield on December 26 has been postponed.
The Boxing Day encounter will be rescheduled after the Premier League ruled it was unable to go ahead following the number of positive COVID-19 cases within the Leeds squad.
