[robbiez666]

I wonder who it could be?

I also wonder if Norwood and/or Fleck is suffering from some form of long COVID.

Record number could be 1, if we've never had any before (I only read the title).

We had some players test positive post lockdown, didn't we? There were two who got in in Greece iirc.

a number of, would read as at least 3 to me. They could all be youth players obviously.

18 positive tests apparantly. Its a fkin awful virus, I had it back in Nov, really hope they are ok.

This is far more important that football and our piss poor attempt to stay in the prem.

 

[8lade]

Well this makes it exciting! If enough people have Covid I may see my preferred starting line up for once!

 

[Wincobank S9 Blade]

I wonder if it’ll be postponed

I possibly had it in April (that was the first time I started getting the tiredness) never had any symptoms which was why I disputed I'd had it for 6 months before saying 'maybe'. Last week was the end of the latest bout of tiredness, can feel ok until put the body under pressure then the energy just disappears. Whatever happens from here on in, if the players end up in the same way we are finished.

Sorry to hear that mate. My wife had symptoms in March but wasn't tested either, then she got the symptoms again in Nov and was tested positive.
Such an awful virus.

Absolutely mental, you can feel great then a couple of days later be absolutely wasted.

18 through out the league.

18 through out the league.

My bad, yes indeed, which isn't that many then in a league of 20 teams, but still, hope they are ok.

 

[S64 Blade]

Who would have thought that travelling the length and breadth of the country, and coming into close contact with many people on a daily basis, could have resulted in this?

Whoever it is, I hope they're ok. The Premier League really need to get a grip of this, as it could well spiral over the next week, or so.

Wont be Norwood, you need to be within 2m of someone to catch it - he's not managed that with an opposition midfielder all season.

The symptoms of Long COVID don't include being shit at football all of a sudden.

[lazyfecklessblade]

Also why the hell does this match get played - member of the 1st team squad tests positive, he will have trained with other players whilst potentially carrying it.

This could ensure that both us and Burnley can't fulfil fixtures further down the line.

 

[davidblade]

People are not social distancing as a country we need to get a grip I went for a walk this morning there were hundreds of families out sledging and not keeping their distance from one another.
So to expect retards footballer to do it when it’s Christmas party time is frankly impossible

 

[BrayfordsBushyBeard]

Won’t be Ramsdale as he catches fuck all ! ( Before I get shot down I am not anti Ramsdale and have defended him on various threads !)
As ever UTB!

Only if COVID stands for Culprits Ordinarily Vulnerable In Defence

 

[Bladeinleeds]

Fingers crossed that the guys are ok.

With our luck atm it’s Egan and Basham who are out.

 

[Bayingblade]

My suspicion is they've all got it and had it since fucking August!

Sheffield United confirm ‘a number of positive Covid tests’

Tuesday evening’s match against Burnley will go ahead as planned despite the number of positive coronavirus cases dramatically rising across the Premier League this month

www.independent.co.uk

United not requested postponement, to me it could be two reason...

1) it’s no first team regulars/key players

2) they are sending a message to the rest of the league. That they don’t need a big squad and are keeping with the view the club has on the 5 substitute rule etc

 

[BanderSerge]

Everybody else’s games postponed, bar ours?

 

[Toronto Blade]

Depends on the person's immune system most don't even know that they have it or had it.

Only if COVID stands for Culprits Ordinarily Vulnerable In Defence

I'm impressed. That's a lot more polite than the versions most of us are thinking of.

 

[Bladeinleeds]

Ramsdale, Brewster, Burke, moose, ampadu. Apparently all on the pitch at Burnley, so presumably not them.

odds increasing it’s one of our competent defenders...

 

[BerksBlade]

Sharp, Jagielka & McBurnie not in matchday squad. Not sure whether McBurnie is injured?
Only named 7 subs so could be Rodwell as well.

 

[Sharp as a blade]

Moore, sharp, jagielka.

Surely jags and sharp would otherwise be on the bench and don't the three of them golf together?

 

[Belvedere Blade]

Premier League clubs are reportedly discussing having a two-week break in January due to fears that rising Covid-19 cases could cause fixture chaos
