Last night Minnesota United’s match with Chicago Fire was postponed just two hours before kickoff was set to take place in St. Paul. The reported reason was “due to a suspected case of COVID-19 among the Minnesota United team.” This would be the third case within the past three days if true. It was also stated “Further details regarding when this match will be played will be announced at a later date.” That immediately brings the issue of fixture congestion into question.
Since the end of the MLS Is Back Tournament there have been more than a handful of postponed matches.
