English Premier News :: Coronavirus: Burnley vs Fulham third EPL match postponed this week

Posted on 2021-01-03 by Gooner

Fulham's Premier League trip to Burnley that was scheduled to kick off at noon GMT on Sunday has become the third Premier League match in a week to be postponed because of COVID-19 cases at the London club, the league said Saturday.

The move comes after Fulham's away game against Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday was also called off because of a "significant rise" in positive COVID-19 cases within their camp.

Fulham requested the Premier League to rearrange the Burnley game after the latest round of testing revealed a further increase in positive COVID-19 cases.

"With the health of players and staff the priority, the League and Fulham will agree a further action plan to control the outbreak to allow the club to resume their season safely," the Premier League said in a statement.
