COVID-19 is threatening to wreck the Premier League schedule. There were three matches postponed in the English top flight in December and one in January, the first since "Project Restart" saw football return in June, with further matches threatened due to a spike in positive cases and number of stars in self-isolation.
The spate of positive COVID-19 results -- the last round of testing on Dec. 29 returned 18 positives from the 1,479 taken, which was the most this season -- in the Premier League, and the growing uncertainty over when and if matches could be played led to calls for a two-week break that would allow teams to regroup.
