Leicester City vs Burnley on Saturday 15 January has been postponed, following a meeting of the Premier League Board on Friday morning.
The decision came after the away side confirmed that it had an insufficient number of first team players available to fulfil the match, with the fixture now to be arranged for a future date.
The official Premier League read:
"Burnley’s home fixture against Leicester City, due to be played at 15:00 GMT on Saturday 15 January, has regrettably been postponed.
"The Premier League Board accepted Burnley’s application as the club does not have the required number of players available for the match (13 outfield players and one goalkeeper), due to COVID-19 cases and injuries.
"The Board was able to make its decision in advance of the fixture to give clarity to the affected clubs and their fans.
"We apologise for the inconvenience and disruption caused to supporters who planned on attending the game, and we are aware that postponements will disappoint fans."
