London, December 26 (BNA): Crystal Palace requested that Sunday’s match in Tottenham be postponed due to the outbreak of the Corona virus in the club, which was rejected by the Premier League.
Palace did not reveal how many players have tested positive for the virus. The league considered Palace to have enough players to finish the game in north London.
But Palace will miss coach Patrick Vieira, who began self-isolating for at least a week after the club announced on Sunday that tests were positive.
The Tottenham game is one of six Premier League matches on Boxing Day.
Three matches have been postponed due to infection with the Corona virus across teams: Burnley v Everton, Liverpool v Leeds and Wolverhampton v Watford, according to the Associated Press.
The Premier League has canceled 13 matches due to coronavirus problems in a span of two weeks, with players forced into isolation after they tested positive or if they had not been vaccinated and had close contact with a case of COVID-19.
