Wolves’ Nuno alarmed by COVID-19 case surge in English clubs | Reuters(Reuters) –
Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Nuno Espirito Santo is alarmed by the rising number of COVID-19 cases within English clubs and fears the situation will worsen. Aston Villa’s FA Cup third round-match against Liverpool on Friday is in doubt after Villa reported new COVID-19 cases in their squad while Shrewsbury Town’s clash at Southampton will not go ahead after an outbreak at the third-tier team. Four Premier League games and over 50 games in the English Football League – which governs the three divisions below the top flight – have been postponed so far this season. “Unfortunately, it’s going to happen more,” Nuno was quoted as saying by the BBC, ahead of Friday’s FA Cup third-round clash against Crystal Palace. “Just look at the news. The expectations are terrible. It’s going to get worse.” The Premier League on Tuesday returned 40 new COVID-19 cases – the highest in a week this season after two rounds of testing last week. Players and staff at top-flight clubs are being tested twice a week after a highly infectious variant of the novel coronavirus led to a surge in cases across the country and forced the British government to announce a new national lockdown. “In football we live in a bubble and don’t always feel what society is feeling,” Nuno added. “But it’s tough for everyone. Players are only human and the rise in cases is scary.”#manchesterunited#manchestercity#HealthForAll#HealthBroadcastingService#govcoronavirus#Covid-19#kimkardashian#worldboxingassociation#spaceX#ukcoronavirus#HealthBroadcastingServiceInPublicHealthPartnership#lockdown#losangeleslakers#martinlambienairn#michelleobama#realestate#copalibertadores#privateequity#vaccine#lawandorder#horseracing#sacramentokings#lasvegasraiders#brooklynnets#saudiarabia#reesewitherspoon#nikeairjordaniv#australianmenscricket#dancingonice#stocks #bitcoinprice#liverpoolfcandcrystalpalacefc#fcbayernmunich#indianationalcricket #losangeleslakers #ghislainemaxwell#proteinexpression #industry#losangelesclippers#universityofnevada#googleboxhttps://www.reuters.com/…/wolves-nuno-alarmed-by-covid…
