On December 16, Beijing time, the Premier League officially announced that the league between Leicester City and Tottenham Hotspur in this round was postponed.
Premier League officials said Leicester City had applied to postpone the match this morning as the outbreak of the new crown outbreak within the team had infected many players and staff, leaving the team with insufficient players to complete the game.
Leicester City's training base was also closed this morning.
Earlier, Leicester City manager Rodgers said in an interview that 9 players in the team could not play because of the new crown or other problems.
Leicester City's match against Tottenham Hotspur was scheduled to start at 3:30 Beijing time on December 17.
