WANDERERS’ game at Burton Albion, due to be played on Wednesday night, has been postponed.

The club informed the EFL this morning that they would not be able to fulfil the fixture at the Pirelli Stadium due to a number of positive Covid cases in Ian Evatt’s squad.

A statement from Wanderers said: “The club has worked hard to try and ensure that it would be able to play the game.

“However, taking into account the injuries and positive Covid-19 cases within the squad, Wanderers do not have a sufficient number of players available in order to fulfil the fixture.

“In light of the increased transmission rate of the Omicron variant, the EFL will now review the circumstances surrounding the postponement.

“In addition, it will assist affected clubs throughout this challenging period to help them mitigate against the risk of infection amongst players and staff, while ensuring their obligations to the EFL regulations are maintained.”

The club say a rearranged date for the fixture - and up-dated ticket information - will be confirmed in due course.

It is the third game called off because of Covid in the last few weeks, with home fixtures agaisnt Wycombe Wanderers and Morecambe also falling by the wayside.
