Presumably if staff/players isolating the Saturday match against Swansea will also be off.

Seems to be a problem for several teams at the moment with various comments there is a misguided belief amongst footballers that jabs will affect their performance.

From talkSport via the Daily Mirror.....

The QPR chief said: "It's difficult to be fair.

"We had our round of testing and were preparing for our trip to Sheffield. We had four people come down positive with Covid and we’ve had two more overnight displaying symptoms.

"We have some unvaccinated players who have come into close contact as well. I’ve now got 10 isolating. That's a very difficult situation.

"As a group, we agonised over the decision [to call off Sheffield United game]. We had to do the right thing.

"You've got players who are deeply frustrated and confused by the situation, but you've got to observe the government's guidelines.

"Just being honest with you, I've got 10 players isolating. From a manager's perspective, Swansea looks highly doubtful because, to have so many now not returning until the week starting the 20th, they won't return to training until the 21st, 22nd or 23rd of December.

"So in my mind, and I know people above my pay grade will make the decision, Bournemouth is the next game we've got to focus on."
