Fulham Manager Scott Parker expressed
he was unsure of their trip to Burnley up ahead on Sunday with coronavirus
damaging the Premier League schedule in a major way, AFP reported.

With a coronavirus outbreak in the
Clarets camp, Fulham’s trip to Tottenham was postponed with less than three
hours to go before kick-off on Wednesday.

This, significantly, was the second
postponement this week after Manchester City’s away match in Everton also being
called off on December 29.

“We’ve had retesting the last
few days. We’ve got a bunch of players and we’re preparing the best we can”,
AFP quoted Parker as saying, who further added that he had no clue whether the
match was going to get played or not.

Referring further to Tottenham boss
Mourinho’s branding of the league’s handling of the situation as ‘unprofessional’,
Parker reciprocated with sympathy, saying, “”We were in exactly the same
position as Tottenham were in. We were in a hotel, we didn’t know until late on
as well”, adding that he understood Mourinho’s frustration.

on Premier League to put in place a small divider to ease the virus-affected
situation within the clubs.

The Premier League administrators
announced earlier this week that there has been no discussion on pausing the
season.
