Claudio Ranieri has urged the Premier League to make an exception and rearrange Watford’s trip to Burnley during the upcoming winter break.
The game was postponed for a second time this week, due to a Covid outbreak at Burnley.
Premier League chiefs are dealing with a fixture backlog, having had to postpone 22 matches this season, and the period between January 24 and February 2 represents a window to clear some of the outstanding fixtures.
FIFA will allow the Premier League to schedule games then, provided any players called up for international duty are released.
