(Manchester United 1-0 Wolverhampton) It first saw Marcus Rashford secure victory in extra time. Then Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjær acknowledged that there could be a football stoppage in England.
– These are difficult times for everyone. I will not interfere in that discussion. If it has to shut down, then it should shut down, Solskjær tells TV 2 after the Wolves’ win.
English football is very affected by the current contagion situation.
On Tuesday, it became clear that 18 people tested positive in the latest round of testing in the Premier League.
The main English newspaper The Telegraph wrote on Tuesday afternoon that the Premier League club is considering taking a two-week break as a result of the situation.
– I’m 66 years old and the last thing I want is to wear a crown. I am very worried about myself and about football in general. If that’s what it takes, then we have to do it, says West Brom manager Sam Allardyce after the loss to Leeds.
There he saw his own player put this strange goal into his own net:
On Monday night, the game between Everton and Manchester City was postponed as a result of an outbreak of infection among the light blue of Manchester.
– It’s not a pleasant situation. We as a club have tried to maintain the routines. We must take precautions. I think we’ve been good at it, at least we are, says Solskjær on the crown situation.
Tottenham game in danger
On Tuesday, Southampton coach Ralph Hasenhüttl had to lead the game against West Ham from home on the couch after coming into contact with an infected crown.
– It was horrible. Very difficult, Hasenhüttl said about leading the match on video, according to the club’s website.

The 18 positive tests are a marked increase over the previous test round, which ran from December 14-20.

All those who have tested positive must be isolated for ten days.
It emerged on Monday that Arsenal player Gabriel was among the infected players, while Sheffield United wrote in a press release Tuesday that there have been several positive corona tests on their team.
Despite that, Tuesday’s game against Burnley, which will start at 7:00 pm, will be played normally.
At the same time, among others, the London Evening Standard writes that an outbreak of infection in Fulham’s field means that Wednesday’s game against Tottenham will also be in danger.
Jürgen Klopp didn’t like being asked about the coronavirus earlier this year:
– No one is sure
Manchester City’s away game against Chelsea shortly before the New Year may also be postponed.
“No one is safe,” Pep Guardiola said, according to the Manchester Evening News, after Kyle Walker and Gabriel Jesus had to face the game against Newcastle on Boxing Day.
In early December, the match between Aston Villa and Newcastle was postponed as a result of an outbreak at the latter club.
