How much will Coronavirus (COVID-19) impact Aston Villa's season?

[ChicagoLion]

All the best Phil.

BBC Sport is also carrying the story about postponing the Everton game now. It's looking more and more likely.

[cdbearsfan]

Get well soon, Phil.

[ChicagoLion]

Since we last played Citeh will have played 5 games before they play us,
They rested a few for the cup games but we are going to be somewhat undercooked.

Cheers all 😊, work in a 24/7 call centre so was just a matter of time tbh. Would say a mild case is like a mild case of flu so it's not dreadful but you can see how it really floor's those already sick and vulnerable. 🤒

Strength and wishes for your recovery. Take care. Up the Villa

The Oracle has spoken.

According to a report in The Independent, largely sourced from PA, BH remains closed and the game is unlikely to go ahead.

There needs to be a full and frank investigation to the rampant covid 19 outbreak at Villa training ground
And the results published.
Every player who has it should be named . So far only Trez has been named.

Trez has confirmed that he has tested positive.

Get well soon Trez

I suspect that everyting is being kept under wraps to what occurred hopefully in time the reason is given as its the worse  case by far in the league and has severely impacted villas training, playing and season.
The in house keeping secrets is not at all good in line with the rest of society doing what they can to stop transmission.
Not only this its pushing for the league to have a break because its do ridiculous as it is unsafe and players unwell that it is to continue.

#avfc have asked the Premier League to postpone Sunday's match against Everton. Premier League to discuss in a meeting tomorrow. Villa fear they will not be permitted into training ground until Saturday after Covid outbreak

Percy is ITK so that's good enough to me although I suspected and forecasted my self that games would be postponed .
So Villa vs Everton is postponed

Hi Footy. Everybody is entitled to patient confidentiality. You seem obsessed by the possibility that players engaged in nefarious activities leading to this without evidence. In this day and age it is near impossible that such an event could be kept quiet. If at some stage in the future near or far something comes out then action should be taken but I will be surprised if it does
Consider older support staff having family Christmas celebrations as the cause
Look at the players spending time travelling on team coach to and from 2 virus hotspots in close succession.
I would guess the club is desperate to play the games. With the shortened season there is no benefit to not playing as the players that could play now, possibly with reduced power will be operating the same later due to overload.

Fuckin’ hell...

A full and frank investigation : someone at Villa, or a family member, got Covid, went training with the squad where they passed it to a few others and then the others did the same.

Thankyou, that's £25'000 please...

I would imagine the most likely route in is a masseuse has picked it up, from perhaps a child going to school or going to the supermarket themselves. They're then in confined and close contact.

It is entirely up to the individual to reveal their health status, it is not up to anybody else.

Trez appears to have done it as he feels its a test of faith; bad luck coming in threes.

[cdbearsfan]

There are thousands of ways they could have picked it up without breaking any lockdown rules. It could be that one Villa employee brought it into Bodymoor Heath or individuals caught it separately. There is absolutely no need to be naming and shaming people for getting sick during a pandemic. Please don't turn into some maniac Daily Mail reading Tottenham fan, FV mate.

[Toronto Villa]

He’s dying for it to be Jack.

Am i right that we have only revealed that we have positive tests?
not that we have players that are Ill.

Not so fast Hercule Poirot
Trez:
"After needing 6 stitches due to my head injury, I suffered from a muscle tear and a hamstring injury and I was absent for a month. And then after rehabilitation and returning to the team training, I was infected with the coronavirus.
Thanks God for everything. May god heal every patient.”

So we can deduce that he is not the instigator

Yes well you can see it like that others can see it like as being detective to find clues and solve the mystery that is how did covid 19 occur at bodmoor heath?

If those with an eye for detail can step forward. Miss Marple style maybe we at H and V can seek to find some clues ? Our very own cluedo . We can already eliminate Trezeguet from our enquiries

Now I can begin that beginning with the GK emi martinez he has recently posted himself on social media with his child at a nursery... and thank you NHS included in one of his photos..  the plot thickens

Please stop. Using works like "instigator" is peak victim-blaming. I'm asking nicely. Pack it in, please?

[Toronto Villa]

He’s dying for it to be Jack.

Absurd .
I don't want anyone dying!
If you have any Miss Marple in you can take part in the h and v investigating

We don’t need an H&V investigation. You’re talking absolute nonsense about a subject you know nothing about and everything is conjured in your head. You’re trying really hard to make this into something that it isn’t. You’re trying to find someone to blame and given the garbage you’ve posted about Jack for ages you would love to be him who started all of this to justify your criticism of him. Stop with the mindless hysteria on something you have no real knowledge about.
