Villa CEO: The rules for postponing the game due to the epidemic are no longer appropriate, and I hope that the Premier League will change as soon as possible

In an interview this week, Aston Villa CEO Perthlow said that the Rules for postponing matches previously set by the Premier League for teams suffering from the covid-19 pandemic no longer apply, and he called on the Premier League to make changes as soon as possible.

Last weekend's North London derby was approved for postponement after Arsenal applied for a lack of players, but in reality, Arsenal had only one COVID-19-positive player in arsenal. In response, Perthlow said: "I think the previous introduction of the rule that teams that have experienced the COVID-19 epidemic in the middle of the season can apply for postponement of the game is no longer appropriate, this provision is well-intentioned, but only one or two positive cases apply to postpone the game, which is not the original intention of this rule." I have asked the Premier League to reassess the situation and we need to make changes as soon as possible. ”
