“Not looking great at the moment” – Journalist provides worrying update on Premier League clash between Chelsea and Liverpool
Daily Mail journalist Mike Keegan has hinted that Chelsea's clash with Liverpool on Sunday, 18 2022 is looking unlikely to go ahead.
Premier League football was postponed this past weekend following the death of Queen Elizabeth II on September 8.
It was believed that a normal return to action for all Premier League clubs would ensue this coming weekend but that appears to not be the case.
Keegan did confirm that Chelsea's UEFA Champions League encounter with RB Salzburg at Stamford Bridge on September 14 would go ahead.
However, he is doubtful about the Blues facing Liverpool.
He wrote on his Twitter account:
"Chelsea v Salzburg to go ahead as planned. No word yet on Chelsea v Liverpool on Sunday but told it is not looking great at the moment."
There was debate over whether all English football was rightfully postponed following the sad loss of the Queen.
Fixture congestion has been a problem irrespective of the latest postponement of action.
There are worries about the players' fitness as we head towards the 2022 FIFA World Cup in November.
