RALPH Hasenhuttl admitted he is “definitely happier” following the Premier League’s updated guidelines on matches being postponed due to COVID-19 cases. Asked for his thoughts on new rules being implemented mid-season by the Premier League,
Ralph Hasenhuttl said: “I think I am definitely happier because it was absolutely necessary to change things. Because we have seen what situation it was leading to, games were called off because of injuries or whatever. The transparency was not there. It is a little bit more now. It is clearer now, and this is definitely helpful for everything. We have not so many days where we can play the games and we have to be careful, because there will be some clubs in the end who will maybe be playing five or six games in the last two weeks or something like that. This cannot be the goal to be honest. It is good, it is much better now, hopefully. The best thing would be we have no cases anymore, but I think this will take a little bit (of time).”
From the Premier League’s latest round of testing, figures revealed there were 11 positive coronavirus tests recorded last week, from 1,947 samples at clubs. Brentford boss Thomas Frank has since tested positive.
