Coronavirus: Thomas Frank wants all Premier League fixtures this weekend postponed to 'break the chain' on Covid

The full round of games in the premier league should be postponed to break the chain in the Covid crisis.

Frank said that he had been in touch with the managers of the other teams in the league and that they were all in agreement.

There were four more positive Covid-19 cases within the camp, taking the total to 13, Frank was told at the press conference.

Frank feels drastic action is needed to ensure the problem doesn't get any worse after the postponement of the game with Manchester United.

Brendan Rodgers was disappointed that the game against Spurs was not postponed due to the absence of nine players.

He said that the full round of games should be put off.

Everyone is dealing withvid cases at all of the premier league clubs.

The Carabao Cup round would give everyone a week at least, or four or five days to clean and do everything at the training ground so you break the chain.

Frank thinks that a decision to stop this weekend's top-flight games could be enough to make sure the festive programme goes ahead as planned.

Some players have returned to training after being isolated, but they must be patient as they build up their fitness.

Frank said that they fully respect that they want to play and it is important football keeps going, and this way we can make sure Boxing Day keeps going.

The Omicron variant is running like a fire around the world and we need to do everything we can to protect it. We can do a lot by closing the training grounds for a few days.
