The English Premier League fixtures may be tampered with following the COVID-19 epidemic, which has resulted in 42 players and staff from 20 clubs testing positive.
Last weekend’s match between Tottenham and Brighton had been postponed for identical reasons.
The match between Manchester United and Brentford, which was supposed to take place this week, has also been postponed.
Because the league has the highest number of infections since the beginning of the pandemic, it is not clear that other games will not face similar fines.
The decision to postpone United’s game was taken “after instructions from medical consultants due to the unusual circumstances” of the epidemic, according to the league.
The Red Devils had already shut down operations at its Carrington training facility in order to reduce the danger of infection.
Coronavirus has been confirmed in the camps of Brighton, Tottenham, Leicester, Aston Villa, and Norwich.
Meanwhile, according to a statement released by the Premier League on Monday, the frequency of lateral flow and PCR testing for players and staff would be increased.
