(Reuters) – West Bromwich Albion manager Sam Allardyce has called for a temporary halt to the Premier League season to act as a “circuit break” amid rising COVID-19 cases at top-flight clubs.
The Premier League said 18 individuals had tested positive for the novel coronavirus between Dec. 21-27, the most in a week this season, with Sheffield United reporting several new cases before Tuesday’s 1-0 defeat by Burnley.
