Brighton 0-1 Wolves: Graham Potter says Seagulls tried to have game postponed over Covid-19 cases

Last updated on 7 hours ago.

The first half was better for the Seagulls than the Wolves.

Graham Potter questioned how long football can continue on the path it's on after it was revealed that the Seagulls wanted their game against Wolves to be postponed.

Potter said that they asked the question because of their situation.

It is what it is. You can't do anything about it, just speak to people and they will make the decision.

Potter said there were three or four positive Covid-19 cases for Brighton and that they were without seven players, including top scorer Neal Maupay andMidfielder Pascal Gross.

Lewis Dunk and Adam Webster are both out for the foreseeable future, with defender Joel Veltman expected to be added to the problems after pulling up with a hamstring injury in the 11th minute of the second half.

The match between the two teams was postponed two and a half hours before kick-off after a Covid-19 outbreak in the away team.

The game between Manchester United and Brentford was postponed on Tuesday because of Covid-19, as was the game between Spurs and Seagulls at the weekend.

I'm not sure how long we can stay on the path, I think we're on it.

We all want football to continue, we want life to continue as best as we can, but health is the most important thing."

This week has been a bit disturbing in terms of how quickly we've been affected by our own issues.

If that continues then we will have to think about suspending action.
