Aston Villa’s Premier League match against Burnley scheduled for Saturday was postponed less than three hours prior to kick-off.

The club said in a statement that the match was called off “due to an increased amount of positive Covid-19 test results within our playing squad.” All impacted players are now in isolation.

No word yet on if the match against Chelsea on Boxing Day will be rescheduled as well.
