A high number of restrictions are set to be placed by the government who are doing everything to stop the spread of this new mutant Covid 19 strain.

Manchester City in their official statement said they’re bio secured bubble had been breached and this posed a threat of spreading to other members of the staff.

Hence its highly doubtful that Sunday’s fixture against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge will happen. Lampard stresses that it’s important to save lives rather than football.

“We’ll see what the position is,” he told reporters. “It’s a key time and a rough time, and we felt that coming, with Tier 4 coming in and the surge in Covid. From our point of view I will find out more over the next day or two to make sure it has to be safe for the two teams. If not the [Man City] game won’t go ahead.”

If we don’t play these games, we’ll keep working,” he added. “I’m not surprised because the way Covid is in the UK is difficult for everybody and football isn’t very different. So we’ll just have to see what the Premier League come up with but safety will be paramount.”
