The match in the Women's Super League would have been played on Sunday afternoon.

The news comes after several players in Chelsea tested positive for covid-19, the club announces on its website.

The infected players, who are not named by the club, have now been isolated and follow current guidelines.

The team is now starting its Christmas break so as not to risk the infection spreading.

New game date will be communicated later.

Swedish national team goalkeeper Zecira Musovic, who signed for the club earlier this week, joins the team after New Year.
