AFC Bournemouth’s SkyBet Championship match against Peterborough United on Monday 3rd January has been postponed due to the number of injuries and new cases of COVID-19 within the first team squad.
The COVID-19 cases were confirmed following the Cherries’ latest round of daily testing, carried out in line with the EFL’s Red protocols for first team training settings which were introduced following the emergence of the Omicron variant. The Cherries’ application for the postponement was granted by the EFL on Saturday.
The club has worked hard to try and fulfil the fixture. However, taking into account the injuries and positive COVID-19 cases, it does not have a sufficient number of players available in order to do this.
All those who tested positive have entered a seven-day period of isolation, in line with Government guidelines.
The fixture will be rearranged for a date to be announced in due course. All purchased tickets will be valid for the rescheduled fixture, but all supporters will be eligible for a refund if they are unable to attend on the new date.
