Everton want answers after Man City game postponed due to COVID

REUTERS: Everton are seeking "full disclosure" regarding the COVID-19 outbreak at Manchester City which resulted in their Premier League game being postponed on Monday.

Just hours before the game was due to kick off at Goodison Park, City said they had returned a number of positive tests in addition to the four on Dec. 25 that included striker Gabriel Jesus and defender Kyle Walker.

The Premier League decided to postpone the game, which had been set to be played in front of 2,000 fans.

"Whilst Everton will always have public safety uppermost, we will be requesting full disclosure of all the information that Manchester City provided to the Premier League so the club can be clear on why this decision was taken," Everton said in a statement on their website https://www.evertonfc.com/news/1958074/club-statement-manchester-city-fixture-postponement.

Premier League rules state that a game cannot be postponed unless a team has fewer than 14 players available.

City are scheduled to visit Chelsea on Jan. 3 and meet local rivals Manchester United in the League Cup semi-final on Jan. 6.

Everton vs. Man City postponed due to COVID-19

In addition, a statement from the Premier League read: "Manchester City lodged a request with the Premier League today to rearrange the game following an increase in positive COVID-19 test results received by the club this morning, on top of the cases reported on Christmas Day.

"This rise has created uncertainty and the Premier League Board received medical advice that the match should be postponed. The Board agreed to rearrange the game as a precaution, and further testing will now take place tomorrow.

"The decision has been taken with the health of players and staff the priority.

"The Premier League continues to have full confidence in its protocols and rules, and the way in which all clubs are implementing them.

"The League wishes those with COVID-19 a safe and speedy recovery and will rearrange the postponed fixture against Everton in due course."

Everton released a statement, stating that: "Everton will always have public safety uppermost, we will be requesting full disclosure of all the information that Manchester City provided to the Premier League so the Club can be clear on why this decision was taken."

Carlo Ancelotti's Everton are third in the league while City are in sixth, trailing them by three points. However, Pep Guardiola's side have a game in hand.
