LONDON -- Aston Villa head coach Steven Gerrard will miss the club's next two Premier League games after testing positive for COVID-19, the club announced on Saturday.
Gerrard will miss the Boxing Day game at home to Chelsea and Tuesday's visit to Leeds, if that game goes ahead. Three of Sunday's scheduled Premier League games have been called off, including the Leeds visit to Liverpool, because of a COVID outbreak and injury problems at the Yorkshire club. That puts a question mark over Villa's match at Elland Road on December 28 will be played.
"We had a situation at the weekend where one of the players was reluctant to get out of his car because he had some symptoms and he's got a young family, and you can totally understand his view in his situation," Gerrard said.
