Premier League have agreed to change coronavirus postponement guidance after 22 matches have been called off so far this season; postponements have been controversial with clubs using coronavirus, injuries, suspensions and international duty as reasons to call off games

So, is this just 4 covid-19 positives in the 25 man squad and all the injuries, suspensions and away on international duty are ignored, plus covid-19 positives in the coaching and physio staff also ignored? I'd like to have seen a statement that all these other "unavailables" would be excluded in deciding whether a game could be postponed or otherwise. Maybe these details will come out in the full media reporting...
