London-Sana
The English Premier League announced the postponement of the match between Southampton and its guest, Newcastle United, due to the outbreak of the Corona virus and injuries in the ranks of Newcastle.
And Reuters news agency quoted the association as saying in a statement that “the board of directors approved the request to postpone the match until next Sunday because the club does not have the required number of players to play the match, which is 13 players, along with one goalkeeper.”
The Newcastle match against Everton at the latter's stadium was postponed due to the lack of the required number of players to play the match due to the outbreak of infection with Corona and injuries in the ranks of Newcastle earlier this week.
The Southampton match against its guest, Brentford, which was scheduled for the 18th of this month, was also postponed due to the outbreak of infection with Corona in the visiting team.
This will be the 18th match in the English Premier League that has been postponed due to the outbreak of Corona and injuries this month.
Yesterday, Britain recorded a new record in the number of daily infections with the Corona virus, which amounted to 189,213, along with 332 deaths.
