Southampton's Premier League clash with Leeds 'will be pushed back to March to accommodate their delayed FA Cup tie with Shrewsbury, which will now take place next Tuesday'

Leeds' Premier League clash with Southampton next Wednesday will reportedly be pushed back to another date to accommodate the Saints' postponed FA Cup game with Shrewsbury.

The FA Cup tie was scheduled to take place over the weekend but was called off due to an outbreak of coronavirus cases in the League One side's camp.

Shrewsbury had been in danger of forfeiting the chance of a place in the fourth round but the Athletic claim the third-round tie will now be rescheduled for next Tuesday, January 19.

The FA postponed the game to give the club an opportunity to fulfill the fixture and a rearrangement is expected to be made in the coming days.
