maybe a bit of luck for us - Leicester covid

Weekend off for us on its way, I reckon.

Mind, isn't that what a squad is for? That might sound harsh but, well....

Yes, that is exactly what a squad is for. Theoretically, if you can put out a full team from a depleted squad then the game ought to go ahead. But I'm sure that those who make the decisions would not enforce that situation if it affected their darling favourite "big" clubs but consider what would happen if the game was the likes of last week us v Burnley.

"Play the fixture or you will be deducted points" would be enforced and certainly no consideration of an appeal.

I agree 100% squads are big enough to cope these days.

If there isn’t a hard and fast rule for this then there needs to be. There are a set number of players in a squad. If a certain number are deemed to be fit for selection by a doctor then the game should go ahead.

Postpone is fair, and maybe the best for both clubs, given its moved to 2022.

They got time to get well, and we could bring in new players. However, bringing in new players could be a lengthy process these days, with the covid situation, brexit rules and working permit etc.

Also, there is a risk that some of their players go under the radar with covid and we get it into our squad.

the rules are as long as you have 13 players and a goalkeeper, the match goes ahead, this includes players from the under 23s.

Sleazy Daniel Levy has managed to get the Spurs game in the UEFA called off, theres hell on about it because Spurs made the decision not the governing body.

The PL game is still on though

Go on Uefa give the spuds a 5 year ban from european football

the thing is, when the PL introduced the rules on covid, you can say with ultimate certainty that the big 6 were consulted before any decision was made.

Levy and co will have had their say, i remember there was a bit of an outcry because it favoured the top teams with the strong 25 man squads and the strong under 23's.

Funny that its one of them thats complaining.

Spurs opponents Rennes are going mental that the game is off

[MidsMagpie]

Uefa should show some bottle and give Rennes a 3-0 W-O

Leicester got beat by Napoli tonight so i'm assuming the game on Sunday is going ahead?

[MidsMagpie]

Think they only have 4 or 5 players positive so all should be fine for sunday
