Premier League season to continue as planned despite Covid-19 surge

Premier League clubs have decided against any suspension of the season as a means of bringing the coronavirus crisis under control.

Six of the 10 matches due to be played in England's top-flight last weekend were postponed because of Covid-19 outbreaks within clubs. Only 4 of the 10-weekend fixtures were played after teams told the Premier League they were unable to name a full-strength side. It had been reported that clubs would consider calling off the round of games scheduled for December 28 to 30.

However, following a shareholders' meeting involving representatives of the 20 teams on Monday, the clubs have opted to continue with the season as planned.
