Premier League clubs want to achieve a suspension of the season due to a sharp increase in the number of coronavirus infections in teams.

Reported by ESPN.

This means that the league will be forced to postpone four Premier League rounds at once, starting this weekend and up to the games on January 1-2..

According to the proposal, the Premier League games will resume on January 15.

The Premier League leadership has been informed that the increase in the number of infections is associated with the spread of the Omicron coronavirus strain.

Recognizing that clubs are surviving COVID-19 outbreaks, the Premier League said they intend to continue their current match schedule where possible, adding that the health and well-being of all stakeholders remains their priority..
