Football must remember it is “not life or death” as the fixture schedule continues to be disrupted by the coronavirus pandemic, according to Brighton boss Graham Potter. Saturday’s FA Cup third-round tie between Southampton and Shrewsbury has been called off due to a Covid-19 outbreak at the Sky Bet League One club. Elsewhere, both Aston Villa and Middlesbrough have seen their preparations impacted by a series of positive tests. Aston Villa can confirm that the Club has closed its Bodymoor Heath training ground after a significant Coronavirus outbreak. Potter believes education of the importance of everyone following the Government guidelines is key going forwards into 2021.
