The 11th round of the English Premier League will not start on Friday as planned, but a day later - on Saturday. The matches between Aston Villa and Newcastle scheduled for Friday have been postponed due to a coronavirus outbreak within the Sharks team. On Friday, after the victorious match against Crystal Palace, Newcastle coach Steve Bruce revealed that there are three cases of coronavirus in the team, and on Sunday, COVID-19 was detected in two more players. Due to the virus outbreak, the Newcastle training center was closed over the weekend and no player is allowed to enter. The date for the rescheduled matches will be clarified in the near future. It is interesting to note that this will be the second postponed match for the Aston Villa team this season - the Birmingham club did not play in the first round match against Manchester United.
