Premier League clubs delibrating two-week break after Covid-19 outbreak

Following a surge in coronavirus cases among players and staff at Manchester City and Sheffield United, Premier League clubs are mulling a two-week break in January, reports The Telegraph.

While the Blades are playing Burnley despite the rise in cases, City's game with Everton was called off on Monday.

The UK government will review the tier situation on Wednesday, which could give us an insight as to what the league may decide.

In a season where all clubs are faced with hectic schedules, a break in between will only worsen the situation. However, the health and well-being of the players should be of utmost priority.
