DBasia.news – The postponement of the match has continued to occur at the Premier League title. This time, the duel between Aston Villa and Everton, which was scheduled to take place on Sunday (17/1), has been postponed due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

“The club would like to thank the medical experts who helped us significantly control the COVID-19 outbreak, as well as the Premier League, board and fellow clubs for their understanding during this period,” wrote a club statement.

“We wish the first team squad members and staff health and safe to return to training on Sunday when the protocol is in place.”

“The club hopes that all those affected by the virus will get well soon.”

The following match schedule, Dean Smith’s team will travel to Manchester City headquarters on Wednesday (20/1). The match against Newcastle at Villa, due to be played in December but canceled, has been rescheduled for Saturday.

After that, Villa will face Premier League games against Burnley on January 27 and Southampton on January 30.
