Andrea Petagna has tested positive for Covid-19, and he was with Lo Celso, Lamela, Dier, Sanchez, and Foyth on holiday...
None have been pictured in training for us.
Assuming you’re expecting Grealish to have it, he’s back in training for Villa so likely negative.14 new covid cases in the PL over 12 teams.

I think you have to treat it like any other injury really. If during the season there is a flair up obviously that will cause some difficult questions to be asked. But once the season starts their should be procedures in place to protect players. Ultimately, players are the least vulnerable group to covid, and players getting it preseason is in ways not the worst thing in the world. so.What’s everyone’s thoughts on what’s right / fair for teams missing players due to Covid? Suck it up and get on with it or introduce a threshold of number of players before a game gets postponed?
3 or less = game goes ahead. 4+ = game postponed. Any Covid cases or isolations due to negligence or breaking the rules = match forfeited 3-0.What’s everyone’s thoughts on what’s right / fair for teams missing players due to Covid?

The players don't need to go abroad to have a break, i'm not sure why this was allowed being perfectly honest.
Why wouldn't it be allowed? They have families and partners as well - so they're not allowed to travel but rest of the world is? Get real.
What's more why are we so adamant that those who went on holiday are the ones that caught the virus?
Not saying they've caught it, that they're susceptible to quarantine on return. And i'm not blaming the players ffs, but surely the club should have mentioned the run of games and that we don't want to end up with 5-6 players barely being able to train properly for 14 days after their break. It's pre-season, and although the break has been shorter the players will still need to catch up on fitness.Why wouldn't it be allowed?

Honestly I think it’s fairly poor form from the club to only offer the option to watch live. One of the matches is at 3pm on a Friday. I’m a member so get it free, but if someone is paying whatever the fee is to see all three matches, there should be the option to watch each match at a later date if you aren’t able to watch live. Seems a bit strange that isn’t the case.Anyone know if you’ll be able to watch a replay of the preseason games once why’ve finished?
Likely to miss to game on Saturday

People knew there would be a quarantine period on returning from abroad, meaning they’d miss preseason. It’s pretty dumb.
