Teams have injuries. It’s just what happens. Now we’re just letting teams push games off because they can’t field their preferred squad? Unreal. This should be a forfeit, along with with a further points deduction. There’s no way that this should have been postponed.

Usual ignorant tripe.
As usual take the time to familiarize yourself with the rules before posting.
LOL! Forfeit! Points deduction! Automatic relegation!
Give us a laugh and explain on what grounds exactly they should be penalized.

With Arsenal having fewer than the required number of players available for the match (13 outfield players and one goalkeeper), the Board accepted the club’s application.
The decision is a result of a combination of COVID-19, existing and recent injuries and players on international duty at the Africa Cup of Nations. All clubs are able to apply for a postponement if COVID-19 infections are a factor in their request.

Within the rules.
