On December 16, Beijing time, according to the Telegraph, due to the emergence of the new crown virus variant Omilkerong, the recent outbreak in the United Kingdom has increased significantly, and Manchester United has tested as many as 19 players and staff in the test last week with positive COVID-19 test results, so the match with Brentford has also been postponed. On the 13th, Manchester United closed the training of the first-team Carrington training base and reopened on the 15th.
United's 19 players and staff are currently self-isolating, while the remaining first-team players are undergoing simple recovery training under the leadership of other staff. The club is in talks with Premier League officials to decide whether to postpone subsequent matches.
The British media "Daily Mail" pointed out that the important reason for the loss of control of the epidemic in the Premier League is related to the fact that some players have not been vaccinated as required. According to the official data released by the Premier League, the vaccination rate of Premier League players is only 68%, and the Manchester United team with large-scale infections is more than the average player who has not been vaccinated.
The latest news shows that the Premier League is negotiating with clubs to punish players who are not vaccinated against COVID-19 and lead to quarantine, which may involve suspension of training fees and salaries. Earlier, Bundesliga club Bayern Munich had already penalized players who had not been vaccinated against COVID-19.
