Concern is growing on the side of the Aston Villa club, where the closure of the training center was decided on Thursday because of multiple cases of Covid-19 within the workforce and the staff as announced by the Premier League team in a statement.

"Significant" coronavirus outbreak at Aston Villa:



- "A large number of first team players and staff returned positive tests" on Monday & more positive today

Villa's FA Cup match against Liverpool on Friday is therefore heavily compromised and the Villans have already canceled training leading up to the match.

Several Premier League games have already been postponed in recent weeks, as England decided to return to full containment.
