With the situation deteriorating, the Brentford boss has called for a break in fixtures with upcoming Premier League and Cup games still set to go ahead.

“We [he and others managers he has been in touch with] think we should postpone the full round of Premier League games this weekend,” he said. “Covid cases are going through the roof at all Premier League clubs, everyone is dealing with it and having problems.

“To postpone this round and also the Carabao Cup round would give everyone a week at least, or four or five days to clean and do everything at the training ground so everything is clean and you can break the chain.”

He added: “We fully respect that we want to play and it is important football keeps going, and this way we can make sure Boxing Day keeps going, I’m 100 percent sure of that.”

With no word from the Premier League as of yet, all fixtures are still set to go ahead as planned.
