Tuesday night's PL fixture has been postponed, again, due to Covid, injuries and international absences in the Leicster squad.

[Football] Everton v Leicester OFF

I still don’t understand how injuries and international call-ups are factors, when it comes to postponing matches.
It’s not down to just those, it’s the combination. With no Covid they’d have a squad

Since yesterday and now can’t get a team together

Convenient again 
Get the AFCON out of the way eh. And a chance to patch the squad up with some January signings.

They have a squad that played yesterday. Have they all contracted Covid today?
I'd still prefer the league to apply the same rues as AFCON - including available U23s.

As others have said ridiculous, they played yesterday with a strong team. Hopefully it bites them on the backside and the have major injuries when the have to fulfil their fixtures. Another case of big team bias.

How soon is now?
I wouldn’t class either of those clubs as particularly big, just using the system to their advantage. Unfairly….
Indeed. Doesnt strike me as a "the entire population of China wants to watch the Leicester superstars so we're postponing this" type of thing really..
Big team bias 
Shirley that's it.
We must now draw a line under this season's proliferation of 'woe is poor lickle Brighton' bollox.
Everton v Leicester - I have no idea which is the team who's being favoured by this "big team.bias".

To be fair, Leicester only had 7 on the bench yesterday, which included 2 keepers.
It doesn’t mean I agree with another postponement.

Surely if you have 11 players available you can fulfil a fixture?
Not much sympathy for Leicester if they have a covid outbreak a week after a group of their first team were larging it at the Ally Pally

As Covid variants (hopefully) diminish further still in terms of the severity of illness, I hope soon that we see the end of this being a factor in squad availability. And the milking of the situation by clubs.
Is Omicron a threat to the life of a 25 year old athlete? We’ve already come along way, in April 2020 Troy Deeney was on a ventilator.
All players and staff getting vaccinated would be helpful.

We’ve finally ditched the “all refs are biased against us” mindset.
For now.
