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

The premier league didn't even listen to the managers at the Monday meeting according to Conte and Deano.Fait accompli.

It's the Premier League.  Nothing must compromise the wellbeing of their wallets

Even if he did test negative for covid, I would have thought Smith and Norwich would have exercised a little common sense and pulled the player from the squad with a temperature that high.

Norwich are in a dog fight and want their best players on the pitch, he tested negative, so he played, move on!

BBC Sport say that Tuesday is off because of Covid at Leeds. So they do postpone tv matches.

But do they cancel Sky Sports TV matches?!

Hulls game was on Sky and that's gone.

I am pleased they didn’t because the sky 4/5/6 whatever number all they wanted was 5 subs. Player welfare sorry no. They are privileged young man under not a lot of duress. It’s people like my neighbours who have been working non stop for 18 months as a nurse and a paramedic and looking after two young children on top. That’s hard shift.

Had a ticket for Leeds but quite pleased we are not playing our second game in three days compared to their first in over a week.

After today at the moment all our next 6 matches are on the box.

To the disappointment of dozens

Leeds was never going ahead due to them calling off Liverpool away. Would've been a very good time in the season to go up there and do them given their issues.

Hopefully Brentford away will be o.k but you never know in these times.

Out of interest, did many people get checked for their Covid pass today?

In the Trinity road middle tier, I couldn't see any random checks on anyone taking place.

[Chris Harte]

I noticed the gate was officially 41,907.

Watching at home because I didn't attend because I didn't fancy catching Covid, it was clear from the number of empty seats that that wasn't the number of people present, but instead the number of seats sold.

[Toronto Villa]

I don’t think we will know for sure but you have to wonder the impact of the latest outbreak at the club. Haven’t trained, missing players, and now the manager. We looked a lot less organized and lacking energy in the second half. I know Gerrard won’t want to use it as an excuse but tonight wasn’t close to recent displays

As it always is, for all clubs.
