This raises concerns about the continuation of the next match against Chelsea. Yes, Man City is scheduled to visit Stamford Bridge on Sunday 3 January evening WIB on week 17 of the Premier League 2020-2021. There is a possibility that the match will also be postponed.
Until now there is no certainty whether the match will be held or postponed. Chelsea manager, Frank Lampard, did not want to force the Premier League operator to hold the match on schedule. Because, the health of all football players is the main thing.
“From my point of view we will know in the next few days to make sure everything is safe for both teams. If not, it will definitely be postponed, “said Frank Lampard, quoted from Goal, Wednesday (30/12/2020).
