Premier League clubs will have to provide proof of a minimum of four positive Covid-19 cases to be able to request a postponement moving forward, it has been confirmed.
Due to the recent wave of the Omicron variant, English football has been hammered by postponements in recent weeks, including in the Premier League, where more than 20 fixtures have been postponed in the last six weeks or so.
Clubs have been able to request a postponement if they have determined that they have had an insufficient number of players available to them to fulfil the fixture in question, whether it be as a result of Covid-19 cases, injury issues or players away on international duty.
