Injury, Covid-19 Hit Everton

Eve

Everton’s Boxing Day match at Burnley has been postponed due to Covid-19 cases and injuries at the Merseyside club.

Everton had an initial request to postpone the game rejected on Thursday despite boss Rafael Benitez claiming he only had nine outfield players fit.

While there have not been further Covid-19 cases at Everton, there has been a number of players unable to train who were originally on the ‘fit list’.
