See this is getting some press at the moment, where clubs are unable to name a squad because of positive Covid results there would appear to be some thinking that clubs could be forced to forfeit the points. What’s a’body’s thinking about this?

Personally, I can’t get my head around why a Premier League club can’t fulfil a fixture because a few players are ruled out. Surely, the clubs in the top division must have some kind of a reserve/youth set up whereby they could step players up to the first team in an emergency situation, or am I missing something?
